Directions
Take I-26 from Charleston to Moncks Corner and follow Hwy. 52 until you pass over the Tail Race Canal them turn right at the first red light on Hwy. 402. Follow 402 for several miles until you come to the Rembert C. Dennis Landing on the left side of the road. After launching you can paddle in two directions: Downstream:
Proceed under the bridge after you leave the landing and be sure to explore the tributaries on the left and right as you paddle. Many of the side trips offer a much different view of Wadboo. You will know you have reached the Cooper River when you see the houses on the other side of it's banks. Care should be taken if you choose to enter. See Hazards.
Upstream:
The paddle to the left is not as wide as the downstream part, but it offers a much different view of the Wadboo. This area offers more of a canopy paddle & a view of high marl banks along the right as you paddle. You may encounter pullovers due to lack of water on this section of the creek during certain times of the year. This section was recently cleared of debris, but water conditions will dictate how far you may paddle.
Wildlife
You will see alligators, fish, snakes, river otters, ducks, and many birds of prey on this section of the river. Be sure to look for the huge osprey nests along the way, you may get to see one in the nest during certain times of the year.
History
Many of the channels off of the Wadboo were hand dug by slave labor during the development of rice cultivation in our country. It should also be noted that the Wadboo was the old stomping ground of
General Francis Marion during the Revolutionary War. It is said that he encamped on the creek for sometime during the war.
Time
Your paddle can vary from several hours to more than a half a day if you explore all the side tributaries that the Wadboo offers. Best paddling can be done on high tide since this creek is affected by tides. High tide is approximately 3-4 hours behind Charleston tides. Hazards
Boat traffic and possible strong current if you enter the Cooper River. Some strainers and logs on the upstream part of the creek after heavy rainfall in the area. Most danger can come from wasp or venomous snakes that might be encountered if you paddle into the bushes. Skill Level
Beginners, except during high water that might result from heavy rainfall or water release from the Jefferies Generating Plant on the Tail Race especially
on the upstream side. Best paddling can be done during high tide or when water is being released from the generating plant. |
