Whether you’re a seasoned boater, an angler, or a family looking to spend a peaceful day outdoors, this launch offers a smooth start to any Lake Wylie adventure.

Limited parking on busy spring/summer days or afternoons. Best place to launch your boat in Tega Cay/ Fort Mill area. Crappie fishing off the dock is exceptional.

It was great fun, floated around, rowed around and just relaxed!

Love this area. Easy to get in and out and a nice cove for swimming or kayaking.

Good access to lake Wylie. It’s ideal if you have a boat to launch, not a great place just to go and seat to enjoy the water. There are no benches to seat, it’s more so designed only for boating. There is decent parking available for cars and trailers.
