Boater Reviews
Beautiful, clean park with shady trails, a playground, and picnic tables. Great for families or quiet walks. Restrooms clean, and parking is easy. A peaceful gem!
It's a decent ramp. The long dirt road is prone to flooding. So keep that in mind.
Nice view, Quiet, Easy boat loading and, boat Dock, Couple of Grills. Tables need a bit of tending to but, more or, less Great Summer spot. Remember Your Mosquito Spray this little cozy spot is located in Jackson, South Carolina's swamp area, Off Jackson Rd, and Fischer
Nice ramp sometimes the road to it can be a little messy. But the ramp it self is paved with a nice dock. Theres a couple picnic tables and even a grill down there. One of my favorite little spots. Bank fishing is a little difficult because of the bluff though.
Its a great ramp but only if you can get to it when its not flooded. Too bad the Audubon Society took away the Good boat ramp in Jackson . Would much prefer to have the old one back or have the rich bird society pay to build the road up so we can get to the water year round.
