Completely rural in nature, this trip does not cross under any bridges and is characterized by dense wooded areas, clear, wide channels, and wide open fields. The Pacolet River's confluence with the Broad River can be seen along this flatwater trip.
This public boat ramp is on the eastern bank of the Broad River at the end of Daltons Landing Road, which is off State Road 1000 (Scenic View Road) in York County. The access site includes a parking area and concrete boat ramp. Check here for updates and additional information.
Paddlers should use caution when approaching the Lockhart Dam. The take out is located river-right, before the first dam. Access to the parking lot requires a short walk. The Lockhart Canal is formed by the two dams located north and south of the Town of Lockhart. Swimming and boating are not permitted within the Lockhart Canal. Paddlers wishing to continue their trip downstream should use the phone in a box on the side of Lockhart Power's building, which is connected to Lockhart Power's control room, to call (864) 545-2580. Lockhart Power will bring a truck and portage you to the put in downstream river-left, east of Lockhart Power's Hydropower Plant and Dam.
