Because I live on the Charleston Peninsula, I frequent kayak launches within an hour's drive of Charleston, South Carolina.  I remain amazed that thirty minutes outside of Charleston, I can launch on a river or creek, paddle for a couple of ours, and never see another boat.

With the unrestrained growth, however, that experience may soon fade.  Until then, the creeks, rivers, swamps, and ocean of the Lowcountry offer terrific opportunities for exploration and escape.

The map shows nearly 200 boat landings in what is generally considered the Lowcountry of South Carolina.  Other maps show the Midland and the Blue Ridge/Piedmont areas of the state.
