Description

The West Columbia Amphitheater Take Out is a standard exit point for paddlers completing the Saluda River run from Lake Murray Dam. Positioned near the confluence of the Broad and Congaree Rivers, this take-out provides easy access and parking for boaters concluding their downstream journey. Paddlers should be aware of potential current and bank conditions, and ensure proper vehicle positioning for efficient shuttle and boat retrieval.
