Chessie

The Chessie boat ramp provides public access to Chessie Creek in the Walterboro area of Colleton County. This single-lane ramp is a county-maintained facility located off Chessey Creek Lane, offering a basic launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. Parking is limited, and the site features natural surface parking typical of rural access points in the region.

This location is ideal for exploring the scenic tidal marshes and creeks of the ACE Basin ecosystem. Paddlers can access Chessie Creek and connect to surrounding waterways while enjoying the natural beauty of one of the East Coast's largest undeveloped estuaries. The area supports diverse wildlife and is part of the Ernest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge system, making it an excellent destination for nature observation and paddling. Conditions vary with tidal cycles, so plan your paddling accordingly.
