From the put-in on SC Highway 64 go south on Horseshoe Creek for an approximately 3 hour trip to US Highway 17. The first part of your float will be through a canopy of hardwood trees, which will open and you will pass old tidewater rice fields. If you want to do a shorter trip, or just make a lunch stop, Price’s Bridge Landing is on the right bank of the creek after about an hour.

Tides are not a problem on Horseshoe Creek, but it is good planning to reach the Ashepoo River on the falling tide, which is 4-5 hours behind Charleston Harbor. Insect repellent is recommended during the warm months.

Hours: Dawn to dusk
