The scenic beauty of South Carolina and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in South Carolina is often easier than elsewhere, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Gaffney, as you can see on the road map further down. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad
you came. The South Carolina Route 18 Bridge to South Carolina Route 211 Bridge section of Broad River is 17.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots.
