There are two boat launches at Taw Caw. One is on Lake Marion and the other is a launch right in the park. The launch in the park has an isolated body of water.

Thanks for the video. I’ll be camping there with my travel trailer in a couple of weeks. I’m planning to bring my motorized canoe. I like your umbrella. I might get one of those.

Great video. I recently got into kayaking. The area where I live in NC has a lot of rivers. I’ve been out as much as I can. The problem with a river is you need to be picked up or drop of a vehicle. Keep up the videos.

Exactly! It's no fun paddling against that current. That's really why I got a creek boat. Now I can go almost anywhere I couldn't with the kayak. The down side with the creek boat is that I caught up on shallow logs sometimes.

Agree with Coffeeborn, this is a very good video. I like that you are exploring the different public ramps on your favorite lake. Hopefully you and Nancy will kayak from the grassy ramp to see what is there. Weird that you did not see any gators. They probably saw you, though. 😃

Jose, you know they were eyeing me up for sure. It was windy so maybe they were back in the swamp. It was a nice day though.

Glad you enjoyed the lake. I realize it wasn't busy but please get your boat ready in the parking lot and not on the ramp when it's busy.

Yeah, it's a lot easier when there is more than one ramp.

Thanks Gina. Yes! I've encountered many out there on the water. Check out my latest video "Bates Old River" where I saw at least 5 of them. These were small ones but still intimidating. The one at Goodale was the largest I've seen - about 15 feet. That one scared the crap out of me. I got out of there without a photo. Those gators are really fascinating creatures. I'm always mindful of their presence.

I’ve only been there a couple of times. The trailer is a 4 foot Harbor Freight trailer that I basically built to fit my boats.

So, after 17 years of non use I decided to get mine back out again and start using it. Just might see you around if your down that way. Also, do you mind if I send you a request?

The other side would be better it does not look like there are a lot of houses and there would be less boat traffic.
