About This Access Site
Fields Point provides public boat access to the Combahee River in Colleton County's remote Atlantic Coastal Plain region. The ramp is located near Green Pond, accessible via County Road 26. This rural launch serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore the scenic Combahee River, which winds through historic plantation lands and pristine wetland habitat. The remote location means services are limited, so plan accordingly and bring supplies.

The Combahee River offers excellent opportunities for kayaking and canoeing through a characteristic lowcountry landscape. This area is part of the ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge, established to protect significant wetland habitat and support migratory birds. Paddlers can expect narrow, meandering passages through salt marsh and tidal terrain typical of coastal South Carolina rivers. The remoteness of the access point and surrounding area makes this ideal for those seeking a quieter paddling experience away from developed areas.

**Planning Tips:** Due to the rural location, confirm access conditions before visiting, bring plenty of water and supplies, and be prepared for tidal flows common on Combahee River paddle routes. The nearby Reconstruction Era National Historical Park offers additional cultural context for the region.
