R. M. Hendrick's (Virginia Av. Park)

Located in North Charleston on the Cooper River, R. M. Hendricks offers a single launching lane for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The facility is managed by the Cooper River Parks Commission and includes a courtesy dock, making it convenient for paddlers to load gear and launch. The park also features amenities such as a playground, picnic pavilion, and restrooms, making it a good base for a full day on the water.

The Cooper River provides access to a scenic area rich in Lowcountry history and culture. Paddlers can explore the river's blackwater and brackish environments while staying close to nearby attractions like Charles Pinckney National Historic Site and the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor. The single-lane design means the ramp works best during off-peak times; plan accordingly if launching during busy periods.
