Description:
This trip is from Hwy 121 near Carlisle, SC to Hwy 34 near Blair, SC and covers 15.8 river miles. This section of the Broad River runs through Sumter National Forest with little to no development on its banks and is quite scenic. The river has some mild Class I rapids and rocks so some maneuvering is required and fiberglass boats therefore are NOT recommended.

Ed Wrightson, Kate Whitaker, Bruce Monson (our Safety Officer), Linda Gray, Mike Hollis, Steve Kelsey, Sean Kelsey and etc.

Description:
Update: It's with a heavy paddle that I must suggest the canceling of my upcoming trip for Palmetto Paddlers on Black River in Williamsburg County. Our current water level of 1.51 and a flow of 21 CFS would mean more walking than paddling...and the forecast for any rain the rest of this week is dim/weak/poor/slim/not likely/droughtful.

Description:
This trip will start at 10:00 at Lawton Park on Prestwood Drive in Hartsville, SC. We will paddle about 15 minutes up the lake to a cypress swamp which will lead us to a clear, deep creek. The creek is very shady with lots of twists and turns. There is a good place to take out for lunch. There is plenty of water, no downed trees (as of last week), and no poison ivy hanging over the water.

Description:
Canceled due to forecast of strong winds.

Description:
