The Blackwater Paddler's Guide: South Carolina Edition
The rivers South Carolina's own parks, forests, refuges, water trails and riverkeepers recommend, from the Chattooga to the Lowcountry.

We have not paddled South Carolina yet, and this book does not pretend otherwise. We did not want to guess at these rivers, so every page comes from the people who look after that water: SC State Parks, SC DNR, the Park Service at Congaree, the Forest Service, the refuges, American Whitewater and the riverkeepers. Each page says who. When we get to a river ourselves, its page changes over to ours.
- 17 rivers, lakes and marshes on full pages, each recommended by a named South Carolina source
- 14 more rivers, creeks and park trails in shorter entries
- Four regions: the Upstate, the Midlands, the Pee Dee, and the Lowcountry and coast
- Every gauge, ramp, mileage and permit fact names its source
- Each river page sends you to the Camping Wilderness Skills app for the live water level
