Highway 327 Bridge

The Highway 327 Bridge access site offers a convenient launch point onto Black Creek, a substantial river system in Florence County's Atlantic Coastal Plain. This facility features a single-lane concrete boat ramp with paved parking for approximately 15 vehicles and trailers, plus a dedicated kayak launch and pier. The infrastructure here makes it suitable for both motorized boats and paddlers launching canoes and kayaks.

Black Creek is a large river (Stream Order 6) with a drainage area of 450 square miles and an average flow of 479 cubic feet per second. Paddlers should expect moderate current with an average water velocity of 1.80 feet/second. The river's average gradient of 8.1 feet/mile indicates a gently sloping waterway typical of the coastal plain, making it generally manageable for recreational paddling. With its 65-mile length and significant size, Black Creek offers extended paddling opportunities for various skill levels, though seasonal flow variations common to this region should be considered when planning trips.
