Non club members and member guests must contact the trip leader before the trip.
Boat type, size, and paddling skills should be discussed with the trip leader.

Rating: L3, sheltered


Where: Meet at Wambaw Creek Bridge and be ready to launch by 9:00. (Put Wambaw
Creek Boat Ramp in your mapping app. Do not be confused with Wambaw Creek Still
Landing...that is the wrong landing).
Launch by 9:00 .

Logistics: High tide on the Santee at Chicken Creek intersection is about 10:00. We’ll
go against the incoming tide for about 2 miles going out Wambaw Creek. The incoming
tide will help us go up the South Santee River. We’ll take a break along the Santee River
and then paddle back with the falling tide to Wambaw Creek, where the last 2 miles will
be against the outgoing tide.
Expect to be back at the landing by 3:00

Trip leader: Ralph Earhart

Note 1: We will have about 4 miles total going against the tide, but on Wambaw Creek, it
really is not much of an issue.

Note 2: If the Santee River is high, this will not work. If that happens, we’ll do a 9 mile
paddle from McConnells Landing down to the Wambaw Creek Bridge. We’ll meet by
10:00 at the Wambaw Creek Bridge, adjust boats on vehicles and shuttle up to
McConnells Landing to launch.
