    Boating Guide to the EDISTO RIVER BASIN of South Carolina What can you find in this book? - Detailed maps for navigating over 270 miles of the Edisto River system, and a map of the coastal Edisto Basin. - 44 access points with descriptions and directions. - Geologic, ecological and cultural points of interest viewable from your boat. - Overview of the Edisto Basin’s natural and cultural history. - Locations of parks, preserves, and wildlife lands along the waterways. - River safety and stewardship information. The Edisto River Basin The Edisto River Basin is a rich landscape which has attracted and supported people for at least ten thousand years. Residents and visitors alike continue to enjoy the natural and cultural landscape, and rural lifestyles of the Edisto Basin. Boating is one of best ways to experience the Edisto River Basin. This guidebook provides maps and information to help you explore this landscape in a canoe, kayak or other watercraft. The Edisto River rises from South Carolina’s fall line, where the rolling hills of the Piedmont and the Midlands give way to the sandy flatlands of the Coastal Plain. Two forks, the North and the South, flow through the upper coastal plain and converge into the main stem Edisto River, which continues to the Atlantic Ocean. The approximately 310 unobstructed river miles from the forks’ headwaters through the Low Country to the ocean have distinguished the Edisto as one of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers in the United States. 1 Table of Contents River Safety.................................................................................................

  • History of South Carolina State Parks
    H «ks History of South < Carolina State Parks Revised July 9, 1992 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/historyofsouthcaOOunse HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE PARKS Revised July 9, 1992 In the early twentieth century, man began to have more freedom due to the progress of invention and industry. He began to look for areas where he could enjoy life, be with his family - close to nature and recreational areas. He needed land where he could see America as the first man did. All across the nation, people began to look for these places. The answer to their quest was in the creation of parks for the people, both state and national. THE BEGINNING Taking a cue from the establishment of the national parks, South Carolina began to think of state parks for her people. In 1934, the South Carolina General Assembly passed an act charging the South Carolina Commission of Forestry with the responsibility of state parks. This act was signed into law by Governor Ibra C. Blackwood. This action was prompted by the people of Cheraw who had donated 706 acres to South Carolina to be used as a state park. South Carolina was now on its way to providing her people with the recreational outlets they needed. THE WORK OF THE C.C.C. The development of the parks owes its greatest debt to the many young men who created the parks. In 1933 the Civilian Conservation Corps was established by the United States Congress under the direction of President Franklin Roosevelt.
