Rocky Point Landing

Rocky Point Drive offers a concrete boat ramp approximately 20 feet wide, providing good launching and retrieval access to the Black River. The site includes limited gravel parking for vehicles and trailers. This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore a major river system in the Atlantic Coastal Plain region of Georgetown County.

The Black River at this location is a significant waterway—a major river (Stream Order 9) with an average flow of over 10,500 cubic feet per second and moderate current averaging 2.83 feet/second. The river has a gentle average gradient of 1.5 feet/mile, making it suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should respect the substantial flow and current. Nearby recreational opportunities include the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge and the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which offer diverse wetland and marsh habitats to explore.
