Well worth the effort, this lovely cypress swamp is much as it was over two centuries ago when Francis Marion and his Brigade of men frequented the area. Paddle point-to-point, or as a park-and-paddle from the Dennis Landing at Wadboo Bridge. 

This upper section of Wadboo Creek can be challenging, particularly during periods of low water when it may become necessary to exit your craft to portage obstructions. Under the stewardship of Santee Cooper, this corridor has been placed in a conservation trust to preserve its pristine beauty. Santee Cooper has placed small yellow diamond-shaped trail markers bearing the likeness of a canoe throughout the trail. About halfway through the trail, they have designated and marked an area for primitive camping. Santee Cooper also periodically clears storm debris from the area, making it a more enjoyable trip. You will see remnants of dikes and canals from the rice field era. You will also pass several limestone bluffs along the banks shortly before coming to the takeout at the Rembert C. Dennis Landing on Highway 402.

If you don't want to arrange a shuttle, very pleasant park-and-paddle trip can be had by launching at the Rembert C. Dennis Landing (Wadboo Bridge) and paddling upstream and back. 

Tides at Wadboo Creek are about 2.5 to 3 hours behind Charleston, SC.
