The Waccamaw River is a beautiful river flowing 140 miles from its source, Lake Waccamaw in North Carolina, to the coast, emptying into Winyah Bay in Georgetown County. It’s one of the most popular waterways in South Carolina for paddlers, and there are many different opportunities to explore this river. One of those is perhaps the most unique paddling adventure in South Carolina, allowing you to kayak to a private island by moonlight.
