About the Berkeley County's BlueWays Group

The Berkeley County Blueways paddling trail system identifies over 175 miles of total water course from 23 trails and is a result of the vision and efforts of many individuals and organizations working in partnership. The Berkeley Soil and Water Conservation District has served as the coordinating agency with supporting grants from Berkeley County Government and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration made available through the SCDHEC Office of Coastal Resource Management. Many thanks are given to Berkeley County, Santee Cooper and the US Forest Service for their enthusiastic cooperation as the waters and landings listed in this guide are under their care and stewardship. Along with other partners, The SC Department of Natural Resources has provided valuable insight and technical services toward development of this project. Special thanks are given to the staff of the GIS Department of Berkeley County who have developed the remarkable graphic maps and aerial photography in this document. Also, special thanks are given to individuals of the Carolina Gypsy Paddlers who assisted in the survey of each waterway listed and brought to light the value that a paddling trail program would contribute to the recreational opportunities in Berkeley County.

It is the desire of this partnership that the Berkeley County Blueways should be viewed as an open invitation for recreational paddlers to experience and enjoy the abundant and beautiful lakes, rivers, streams, forests and wildlife we have to offer.
