Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. If you're coming from Summerville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further
    down the page. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is
a very popular destination. The Highway 35 to Upper Two section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.
