This 6 mile river section is generally where the river channel begins to widen, though tight hairpin turns exist along the entire ERCK Trail.
Simmons Landing is a private, fee based access point. $5 for boats, canoes and kayaks. $2.50 for tubers. There is a pay box at the entrance of the landing.
Weeks Landing is on river left.
Colleton State Park is located directly across the river from Weeks Landing on river right, and offers camping and restrooms and a hand carry boat launch.
Paddlers will cross under Interstate I-95 approximately 2 miles from the put in. Experienced ERCK paddlers have noted several locations along this route that boast an abundance of fossils lying atop the river bed. A South Carolina Hobby License is required in order to remove submerged fossils from the river and rules and regulations apply. For the last mile of the route paddlers will encounter infrastructure from SCE&G’s now shuttered Canadys Station Power Plant.
