These 3 miles of the ERCK Trail are considerably wider and relatively straighter than other sections and shows many signs of riverside civilization.
Hand carry boat launch at Givhans Ferry State Park. Fee required to use the state park. Check website for details about hours of operation and fees. Public restrooms and park store are available.
After only 0.25 miles after launching, river goers pass under the Highway 61 Bridge. Due to its proximity to Givhans Ferry State Park’s full service facilities and the greater Charleston metro area, this is one of the most highly used parts of the ERCK Trail. It is well known for being the primary tuber/floater route during the summer months. During summer weekends, it is rare to visit anywhere on this stretch of river without seeing a high number of tubers. Those seeking a more natural experience should avoid this run, especially on weekends during the warmest months.
