This Little-Known 3-Mile Canoe Or Kayak Trail Through Cypress Trees In South Carolina Is A Paddler’s Dream Come True
If you’re into canoeing or kayaking and haven’t discovered the water trail on the mill pond at Goodale State Park near Camden, then you’re in for a delightful surprise. You don’t even need to tote your own canoe or kayak over to the park because you can rent one there. Here’s an overview of what you’ve been missing:
Goodale State Park is one of the best kept secrets in the South Carolina State Parks lineup.
Load up the kayak or canoe, or simply rent one at the park. The cost is $10 for a half day and $20 for the full day. You'll put in near the spillway and then paddle across the lake (the mill pond) to the entrance of Pine Tree Creek.
You'll wind through a huge stand of water-logged cypress trees before reaching the end of the trail, where you'll turn around and paddle back to your launch site.
