Rating: L3, sheltered

Where: Meet at Wambaw Creek Bridge and be ready to launch by 9:00. (Put Wambaw Creek Boat Ramp in your mapping app. Do not be confused with Wambaw Creek Still Landing...that is the wrong landing).

When: Launch by 9:00am.

Logistics: High tide on the Santee at Chicken Creek intersection is about 10:00. We’ll go against the incoming tide for about 2 miles going out Wambaw Creek. The incoming tide will help us go up the South Santee River. We’ll take a break along the Santee River and then paddle back with the falling tide to Wambaw Creek, where the last 2 miles will be against the outgoing tide. Expect to be back at the landing by 3:00

Trip Leader: Ralph Earhart

Note 1: We will have about 4 miles total going against the tide, but on Wambaw Creek, it really is not much of an issue.

Note 2: If the Santee River is high, this will not work. If that happens, we’ll do a 9 mile paddle from McConnells Landing down to the Wambaw Creek Bridge. We’ll meet by 10:00 at the Wambaw Creek Bridge, adjust boats on vehicles and shuttle up to McConnells Landing to launch.
