Wambaw Creek Canoe Trail (McClellanville)

// August 18th, 2009 // Charleston Paddling

This winding blackwater creek is one of the Lowcountry’s finest places to paddle. From Still Landing, canoes and kayaks can head either direction through the cypress/tupelo stands that line the creek. Warblers, kites, and wildlife are abundant. If you have a second car to drop, it’s a 5 mile paddle from Still Landing to Wambaw Landing.
Directions from Charleston: Take Hwy 17 N to McClellanville, and turn left at the blinking yellow caution light onto Hwy 45 (French Santee Rd.). Go 4 miles and turn right onto Mill Branch Rd. (Forest Service Rd. 211). Drive 3 miles and turn left onto FS 211-B. Continue .5 mile to Still Landing. To reach Wambaw Landing, continue 4 more miles past the turn for FS 211-B on Mill Branch Rd. (FS 211).
