Trees Down or Other Obstructions? If you come across downed trees, limbs or other obstructions while paddling

this blueway, please let us know. We can often facilitate removing it. Contact us at 843-433-0361 or 843-719-4146.

Precautions: There could be low hanging branches and tight places to squeeze your boat after storms; however, the park staff is good at cleaning up this type of debris.

Water Level: Because of the park’s small dam, water level is almost never a concern. However, after heavy rains, flooding or large releases from the Tailrace Canal (Cooper River), this area could be higher. If you have any concerns about water level, contact the park at 843-899-5200.
