About This Access Site
This is a whitewater take-out point on the Little River in Abbeville County, South Carolina. The Little River is a substantial waterway classified as a large river (Stream Order 7) with a significant drainage area of 4,201 square miles. The river features a notable average gradient of 16.2 feet per mile and an impressive total elevation drop of 1,490 feet over its 91.70-mile length, making it suitable for whitewater paddling activities. With an average flow of 6,573.57 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.72 feet per second, this take-out serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on a dynamic river system.

Being designated as a take-out point, this location is designed for paddlers to exit the water after their whitewater adventure. The Little River's characteristics—particularly its gradient and flow rate—indicate this is a river best suited for paddlers with whitewater experience rather than beginners. The proximity to Abbeville County provides access to a river system that offers genuine whitewater paddling opportunities with natural terrain challenges and current.
