Good place to launch your stand up paddle board, kayak, or boat. Remember to look at tides before launching. Nice boardwalk that circles from and back to the parking lot that gets you a little bit into nature around the river. The boat launch area was a bit dirty with some liquid white substance in the water. Probably a boater getting rid of something before leaving the boat ramp.

Great lil fishing dock! Nice big boat parking lot and boat landing. Several well shaded picnic tables too. Also be sure to keep an eye out for Ashley the giant turtle! He was last seen residing on the right hand side underneath the small bridge that connects to the fishing dock!

Nice place to launch boats 2 launch pads. 2 boat docks to tie up boats. From small to pontoons and bigger. Kayak launch pads. fishing. Trail to board walk, that goes to 2 structures for fishing. With 2 other fishing small piers. Beautiful places to go fishing up and down stream. Also has river side benches and an awnings. Is brackish so it is tidal.

I love this dock. My husband and I come here all the time because it’s peaceful and calming. You can fish and sit by the water my husband and I got our wedding pictures taken here because of how beautiful the view. I highly recommended people to come here when they just need a moment away from everything. There is places for picnics and small cookouts, a small nature trail. My husband and I go at least once a week just to walk around.

Nice little place with a short boardwalk on the river. The boat landing is great at high tide, but low tide can be a difficult task for medium to large boats. Fishing is available off 3 different docks. There is a picnic area, and charcoal grills are available. It is a quaint little place off the beaten path, and wildlife can be seen.

Review №31

Beautiful quiet place to walk your dog, or walk alone. Could use some closer attention as far as trash clean up, its a shame to see so much clutter around such a beautiful place! Next time I go here, I will bring a trash bag and make an effort to help clean it up.

A great location to just walk around and enjoy nature or take photos, or go fishing. It does however tend to have an unfortunate number of mosquitoes in warmer months so cone prepared. It also has numerous picnic locations for a nice lunch.

We had a showing yesterday and we had to get out of our house with kids and dogs. So we grabbed 2 buckets of chicken and went to the dock and enjoyed the fact that we could sit there with our dogs and our kids and food. Great place, now I want to go back and go fishing.

Been coming here since I was a child and I really enjoy the improvements theyve made over the years. Plenty of space whether launching a boat, fishing, or hosting something like a picnic.

Review №69

I say be careful with your boat. Strong currents. Moving debris and full sized downed trees laying in the bottom of the river. Fishing is allowed. Bring extra gear because of the debris you will break or snag your lines.

Well maintained boat access to the beautiful, historic Ashley River with plenty of boat and vehicle parking. Large floating docks and a beautiful boardwalk for fishing, getting exercise and fresh air or taking in the stunning view of the river and wetlands.

Nice little park with good boat ramp. The dock has no bumpers to protect your hull, so bring your fenders. River could be swift and will switch direction with tides. Low tide could be tricky for some bigger boats.
