The average South Carolina whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The Trail to North Saluda Reservoir stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. If you're coming from Greenville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's
a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter,
around here you'll find a large number of good places. This stretch is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. The scenic beauty of South Carolina and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far.
