Howard Bridgman River Access at Bacons Bridge

200 Renken Rd Summerville, SC 29483

Dedicated in December of 2017, the Howard Bridgman River Access at Bacons Bridge is situated on an ideal stretch for paddling and is a “carry-down” facility for canoes, kayaks, SUPs and small john boats. Overhanging limbs, partially submerged obstacles and a narrow twisting channel will be encountered both immediately upstream and downstream of the access.  The river access has ample parking as well as a portable restroom.
