About Givhans Ferry State Park
Givhans Ferry State Park is a 988-acre lowcountry retreat set along the Edisto River, the longest free-flowing blackwater river in North America. The park sits at the end of a 23-mile paddling trail that begins at Colleton State Park, making it a natural gathering point for river-based outings and quiet celebrations alike. Four two-bedroom cabins, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, sit on a bluff overlooking the river, alongside the CCC-built River House welcome center with its wide back porch looking out over the water. The park's limestone river bluff and sinkholes, some six to eight feet deep, are among its distinguishing natural features. For groups, two picnic shelters are available to reserve, and a 1.5-mile River Bluff Nature Trail winds through the surrounding woods. Wireless internet is available at the park office, and kayaking, tubing, and fishing on the Edisto are among the park's signature outdoor activities.
