About This Access Site
Sonovista Park offers public boat access to Prestwood Lake, a 280-acre lake located east of Hartsville in Darlington County. The ramp is situated at the end of a dirt road off County Road 495 and features a single-lane boat launch suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The lake is fed by Black Creek, making it a scenic paddling destination in the Carolina Sandhills region.

This access point is ideal for flatwater paddlers and anglers looking for a calm lake environment. Before planning your visit, note that the site has experienced periodic closures for facility upgrades and maintenance in recent years, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm current conditions and availability. The nearby Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge offers additional recreational opportunities in the area.
