Edgar C. Glenn Landing (Highway 170 Bridge)

Edgar C. Glenn Landing is a well-developed public access point on the Chechessee River, located at 380 Okatie Highway on the western side of the SC 170 bridge in Beaufort County. The facility features a dual-lane boat ramp, courtesy dock, and 64 trailer parking spaces, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Restroom facilities (port-o-lets) are available on-site. Note that the ramp has no lighting, so plan your launch and takeout during daylight hours.
