Fishing Creek Ramp

Fishing Creek Ramp on Clarks Hill Lake provides a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is part of the Soap Creek Marina recreation area, which is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the J. Strom Thurmond Lake.

The ramp offers direct access to Fishing Creek, a major tributary that flows into the larger Clarks Hill Lake. This scenic, winding creek provides opportunities for paddling and fishing, with wooded shorelines and relatively calm waters. Boaters should be aware of fluctuating water levels and potential shallow areas, especially during drier periods.

Nearby facilities include primitive campsites, as well as the Morrow Bridge and Midway Seasonal Camps which are within 10 miles. The ramp is free to use and open to the public, though hours and operations may vary. Paddlers and anglers can also explore the larger Clarks Hill Lake, which is known for its excellent bass and crappie fishing.
