Boater Reviews
Plenty of parking, well maintained access to the Congaree River.
Great boat ramp for Broad river. It's usually not to crowded. Of course you still get those people who it take forever dropping a boat and hogging up the ramp on some days but it's not relatively bad. Also some people do bank fish here when the water level allows but there isn't very much room here to fish from the bank.
I use this free ramp and parking lot often when kayaking on the Congaree. Very nice facility, clean and well maintained, with plenty of parking. I have left vehicles here several times for two or more nights, never had a problem. The river here is below the rocks, a nice smooth paddle downstream for the next 55 miles, with plenty of sandbars for breaks or camping.
I love this boat ramp spot so much. It is so relaxing being able to sit at that water is the most peaceful feeling in my life I really do enjoy being around the water so that's a really good spot if you really like the water I do recommend tubing and kayaking any type of water outing and you're sitting out on that bed of water
Pretty dirty, rough parking lot that needs to be redone, dock doesn’t go out far enough so the dock can be very steep when the river is low. And for some reason it’s almost always muddy at that boat ramp while Cayce’s ramp stays cleaner. Worth the extra few minutes to go to Cayce if you can.
