Trip Report

ReporterJohn Steimke

This section of the Savannah River has dozens of islands. I love paddling the channels between them and one usually sees herons. There are many dark granite rocks that have lilies growing from them in spring and summer. Water clarity is usually excellent. Just below the dam at Savannah Rapids Pavillion is a fast chute that is a good place to practice ferrying and rolling in current.
