Boat Landing Road provides a concrete ramp access point to the Broad River near Monarch Mill in Union County. The ramp is approximately 12 feet wide and can accommodate small to medium-sized boats and watercraft. This location offers a straightforward launch point for paddlers and boaters looking to access this large river system.
The Broad River at this location is a significant waterway—classified as a large river (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of over 7,300 cubic feet per second and moderate current averaging about 5 feet per second. The river has a notable gradient of 15.2 feet per mile, so paddlers should expect moving water conditions. This section is located in the headwater region of the Broad River, roughly 367 miles upstream from the river mouth.
For trip planning, two reservable campgrounds are available within 10 miles: Poulous Loop Group Campground and Woods Ferry Campground. Paddlers should check current water conditions and local advisories before launching, as the river's significant flow and gradient require appropriate skill levels and safety precautions.
