B & C Landing

B & C Landing provides straightforward access to a scenic corridor where a narrow canal transitions into the broader Savannah River. This launch point near Clyo works well if you're looking to paddle flatwater without the complexity of tidal influences or significant current. The canal section offers a sheltered introduction, while venturing into the river proper gives you more open water and wildlife viewing opportunities. The area is popular with local paddlers who appreciate its low-key atmosphere and beginner-friendly characteristics. You'll find this is a practical choice if you want a genuine paddling experience without dealing with whitewater, Class I rapids, or heavy boat traffic.

On the water, expect calm conditions throughout your paddle. The canal section is narrow and protected, making it ideal if you're introducing newer paddlers to the sport or testing out equipment. As you transition to the river, you'll encounter slightly more open water but nothing challenging. Current is minimal during normal water conditions, so you won't need to compensate significantly for downstream drift. Visibility into the water is typical for this region, and you'll likely spot wading birds, turtles, and occasionally larger wildlife depending on the time of day and season. The surrounding landscape is natural without heavy development, which adds to the appeal. Wind can occasionally affect the more open river section, but it's rarely severe enough to make paddling unsafe at this difficulty level.

Plan your visit between March and November when water conditions are most stable and weather is predictable. Winter months are accessible but less comfortable. B & C Landing is located about 6.2 miles from Clyo, making it an easy drive from the surrounding area. The landing itself offers basic facilities for launching, though you should confirm amenities and any parking fees before arrival. This is a solid location for day paddles, and the calm conditions mean you can extend your time on water without the physical demands of fighting current or technical navigation. Bring sun protection and water regardless of season, and check local weather before heading out.
