Extremely convenient to downtown Greenville, SC, this paddle trip is scenic, however has a high probability of woody debris. Although easy in terms of skill level, portaging fallen trees can be difficult. This trip would be better suited at higher water levels.
This 122-acre park offers a myriad of recreation opportunities including access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, fitness trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, and sports fields. The park is open from 8 AM to 9 PM daily. Park in the horseshoe parking lot on Lakehurst Street, near Woodland Way. River access is located across the grass from the parking area, river-left. Parking is limited. For more information, visit: www.greenvillesc.gov
This is the last take out before the Lake Conestee Dam (no portage). After crossing under the I-85 bridge, take out river left under the Mauldin Rd. bridge and portage boats 650 feet up the Swamp Rabbit Trail (parallel to Parkins Mill Road) to the roadside pulloff area next to the power line. Though unofficial, this access is widely used. Use at your own risk. Access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail is also available.
