About This Access Site
Peters Creek in Georgetown, South Carolina provides a boat ramp and access point for paddlers and boaters exploring the coastal waterways of Georgetown County. Located in Georgetown, this access site offers basic amenities including a boat ramp, parking, and dock facilities to support launch and retrieval operations. The site is situated near important ecological areas, including proximity to the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge and the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which protect extensive wetland and marsh habitats in the region.

Paddlers using Peters Creek should be prepared for tidal influences typical of South Carolina's Low Country. The creek flows through a mixture of tidal marshes and transitional wetland habitats, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Check local tide charts before launching, as water levels and current conditions vary significantly with the tidal cycle. The nearest alternative access point at Ervin Park is approximately 10 river miles away, so plan accordingly when choosing your paddling route.
