Sol Legare landing

Battery Island provides a convenient single-lane boat ramp for paddlers and boaters accessing the Stono River south of Charleston. The facility includes a courtesy dock and picnic area, with paved parking available. Located at the end of County Road 632 off SC Highway 171, this access point offers straightforward river entry without the crowds of larger multi-lane facilities.

The Stono River in this area is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. Paddlers should note that this is a moderate-sized lowcountry river with tidal influences typical of South Carolina's coastal waterways. The site's location near the Charleston area makes it accessible for both day trips and exploring the scenic marshlands and islands characteristic of the region.

Nearby attractions include Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park, which sit at the entrance to Charleston Harbor and offer interesting historical context for water-based exploration of the area. This access point serves as a good launching point for paddlers interested in exploring the lower Stono River and its surrounding coastal environment.
