but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The I-20 to Congaree River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Broad River. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The wonderful Richland County scenery and the water flowing
gracefully down Broad River are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here.
