We in South Carolina share the Waccamaw River with our neighbors in North Carolina, where it begins at Lake Waccamaw and travels south until it converges with the Intracoastal Waterway near Bucksport, empties into Winyah Bay, and then flows past Georgetown to the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a blackwater river stretching for over 140 miles in total length. As the Waccamaw River travels through the state, there’s a magnificent river walk in Conway, South Carolina alongside the water that looks and feels as though you may have just stepped into another world.

The Conway Riverwalk is a 1.3-mile path out and back alongside the Waccamaw River with beautiful views and some surprising sights along the way.

It's an easy, well-maintained route that's paved and has a boardwalk section as well.

There are benches at various places if you want to take a little break or just have a seat and enjoy the sunshine and sounds of nature for a bit.

Animal lovers will be delighted to see some of the Conway Critters around! These cute sculptures are 15 inches tall, scattered throughout the downtown area in 2017 as a scavenger hunt of sorts for children to have some fun while parents shop. Out of the eight total, three of them are along the riverfront.

There's a good chance you'll see some ducks, too.
