About This Access Site
Sandy Creek Park offers a two-lane public boat ramp providing access to Pinkston Reservoir in the Aiken area of Shelby County. The ramp accommodates all boat types and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, though it may become unusable during low water periods. The facility includes restrooms, handicap-accessible features, and adequate parking. A fee is required for access.
The park is set in a quieter cove environment ideal for paddlers seeking a more peaceful experience compared to busier access points. Primitive camping is permitted near the boat ramp for those planning multi-day trips. Before visiting, check current water levels to confirm ramp usability, especially during dry periods. The site offers good opportunities for fishing and nature-based recreation in addition to paddling.
