Common questions about South Carolina boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in South Carolina?
- Boating Hubs maps 446 boat launches in South Carolina across 174 named waters. 418 are public access and 28 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.

- By mapped launch count: Lake Marion (24), Savannah River - Lake J. Strom Thurmond (19), Little Pee Dee River (15), Saluda River - Lake Murray (14) and Waccamaw River (12). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in South Carolina?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for South Carolina yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
