About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Bulow Landing provides public boat access to Rantowles Creek, located west of North Charleston off County Road 317 near US Highway 17. The ramp is situated at the back of a residential neighborhood, with a gravel parking lot offering ample parking spaces.

**Paddling Conditions:** Rantowles Creek features swift tidal currents in this area, which is an important consideration for kayakers and canoeists. The most manageable paddling occurs around slack tide; if you plan to paddle against the current, be prepared for a significant challenge. The site works well for paddlers planning to drift downstream with the tide and return during favorable conditions.

**Facilities:** This is a straightforward public launch with a boat ramp and gravel parking. The accessible design makes it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. Plan your trip around the tidal cycle to make the best use of current conditions.
