About This Access Site
**Facility Overview:**
Stills Landing offers a single-lane boat ramp with paved parking for 15 vehicles and trailers, making it a modest but functional access point for paddlers and boaters. The site includes free camping spots located to the left of the boat ramp drive (permits available by calling 1-843-336-3248).

**Paddling Conditions:**
This landing provides access to Wambaw Creek, a scenic black water tidal creek that winds through the Wambaw Creek Wilderness Area within the Francis Marion National Forest. The creek's tidal nature and winding course make it ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddle through pristine wilderness. Stills Landing and Elmwood Landing are the two primary public access points on the creek.

**Practical Notes:**
As a tidal creek in a protected wilderness area, paddlers should be prepared for variable water levels and plan trips accordingly. The peaceful, low-traffic setting makes this an excellent choice for those seeking a natural paddling experience away from busier waterways.
