Kill Kare

Kill Kare Landing serves as the final public access point on the North Fork Edisto River, located approximately 2 miles upstream of where it confluences with the South Fork to form the main Edisto River. This ramp provides paddlers and boaters convenient access to explore the lower reaches of the North Fork in the Atlantic Coastal Plain near Branchville. The site is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats seeking to experience this scenic river corridor.

Paddlers should be aware that the channel features some obstacles as it winds through the lower section near Orangeburg County, so moderate experience is recommended. The North Fork becomes wider as it approaches Kill Kare, offering more open water conditions. From this access point, you can paddle upstream to explore the river or downstream toward the main Edisto River confluence. Trip planning is easier with the available mileage markers on Edisto River maps and the Paddle SC online guide, which catalog all public access sites throughout the river system to help you plan multi-day paddles or shorter outings on this unobstructed river corridor.
