Palmetto Outdoor is excited to begin programming on the Congaree River, featuring the new take out at H. Kelley Jones Park in Cayce, SC. We soft launched this program Sunday September 8th 2024 and it will be available full time for the 2025 season.
The trip will start at the West Columbia Riverwalk where all guests check in, receive a safety speech, and grab their equipment. It’s about a 1.5- 2 hour float from the West Columbia Riverwalk down to the new take out. Guests will float by a sunken ship, under train trestles, and through the historic Granby Locks. This section is great for families with younger children because it is all calm, flat water (no rapids) and is the perfect 2 hour duration.
After exiting the Congaree River at the H Kelley Jones Park, we will shuttle guests back upstream to where participants originally parked. The shuttle ride back upstream is a great time to drive by local Cayce businesses and give visitors suggestions on what to do after their trip. This new take out adds value to the community and will attract people from all over the Southeast to experience our recreational assets.
