点评:This state park is easy to get to and beautiful as it sits along the Catawba River. cash entrance , 6$ for adults and $3 for adults.
Between mid May and mid June the spider lilies are in bloom and man is it a site.
So it is a great day trip for a walk and a picnic or a kayak trip down the river thru the lilies. No kayak, there is a flat trail not more than 1 mile round trip to the lily observation deck. If you want to see the canals, it is 1.5 miles along the River , so 3 mile walk round trip.
The SC State Park website gives lots of information about directions and history. But what it was lacking is where and how to kayak the river. So.... If you are up for a fun ride read further
If you are going to kayak thru the lilies it is a one way trip, the River is shallow so you can not paddle up the river. You can do this two ways.. With one car: take your kayaks out( and gear/ paddle/cooler) at the put in you access by the main park entrance. Then drive your car to the take out area and park. Walk the trail along the River , 1.5 mil easy walk back to where you left your kayaks. Float down river and your car will be waiting for you.
Now to get off the river to the take out area! This is not well marketed and if you miss it, well it is tricky. So after floating through the lilies, stay to the right of the river, you will see a red triangle marker on the tree, go to the right of it. As you continue on, you will come to a sign white that directs you to the right. That channel will take you to the take out. However at the take out, it is marked with a couple of white arrows, on a tree and ground, there are not steps or cut out. it looks like a dirt bank.
Happy floating, I loved it and will do it again.
Also check the website for river flow and the safe time to float. And if all of this is confusing, call the park a couple of days before you plan to go. They can give you all the correct information.
翻译:这个州立公园位于卡托巴河 (Catawba River) 沿岸,交通便利且风景优美。现金入口,成人 6 美元,成人 3 美元。
在五月中旬和六月中旬之间,吊兰盛开,男人是一个地方。
因此,这是一个很棒的一日游,适合散步、野餐或划皮划艇顺流而下穿过百合花。没有皮划艇,有一条来回不超过1英里的平坦步道到百合观景台。如果您想看运河,沿河 1.5 英里,往返需步行 3 英里。
南卡罗来纳州立公园网站提供了大量关于方向和历史的信息。但它缺少的是在哪里以及如何在河上划皮划艇。所以....如果你想享受有趣的旅程,请进一步阅读
如果你打算划皮划艇穿过百合花,那是单程旅行,河水很浅,所以你不能划船逆流而上。您可以通过两种方式做到这一点。使用一辆车:在主公园入口处的入口处取出皮划艇(和装备/桨/冷却器)。然后将您的车开到外卖区并停车。沿着河边的小径步行 150 万,轻松步行回到您离开皮划艇的地方。顺流而下,您的汽车会等着您。
现在离开河流去外卖区!这不是很好的营销,如果你错过了,那就很棘手了。所以在穿过百合花后,留在河的右边,你会看到树上有一个红色的三角形标记,往它的右边走。当您继续前行时,您会看到一个白色的标志,指示您向右行驶。该频道将带您去外卖。然而,在外卖处,它标有几个白色箭头,在树上和地面上,没有台阶或切口。它看起来像一个垃圾银行。
快乐漂浮,我喜欢它并且会再次这样做。
还要检查网站上的河流流量和漂浮的安全时间。如果所有这些都令人困惑,请在计划前往前几天致电公园。他们可以为您提供所有正确的信息。
