About This Access Site
Cohen's Bluff Landing offers a peaceful, secluded access point to the Savannah River in remote Allendale County. The site features a well-maintained concrete boat ramp and pier, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly. Located at the end of Cohen's Bluff Road, this wooded spot provides a quiet launching point away from heavier traffic areas.
The Savannah River at this location is a major waterway—a powerful stream order-8 river with an average flow of over 12,800 cubic feet per second and average velocity of nearly 7 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for moderate current and respect the river's significant size and power. With a modest gradient of 2.2 feet per mile in this region, the river remains navigable but requires attentiveness to flow conditions. This access point places you well upstream from the river mouth, offering opportunities for longer paddling excursions in the lower Savannah system.
