Old Santee Canal Park

Old Santee Canal Park is located adjacent to the Tailrace Canal about a mile below the 17 A bridge. It is accessed from Rembert Dennis Blvd onto Stony Landing Road. The park is well marked with signage.

This paddle trail is entirely within the boundry of the park and consists of a three mile loop on Biggin Creek and includes a portion of the original Santee Canal. It presents an excellent opportunity for beginning paddlers to enjoy a pleasant afternoon of paddling. Rental canoes are provided for a modest fee and the paddle trail is well suited for all paddlers. The area is forested primarily with cypress trees, has several species of flowering water plants and provides a home for many lovely wading birds. It is highly recommended for those wanting to sample paddling for the first time. A bottle of water for each participant as well as sunscreen is recommended. Additional information as well as current fees can be found on their website at www.oldsanteecanalpark.org.
