A natural retreat in the Lowcountry woods, Givhans Ferry State Park sits at the end of the 21-mile long stretch of
Edisto River kayak and canoe trail that begins at Colleton State Park.
The Edisto is the longest free-flowing, blackwater river in North America, and glimpses of it can be seen from the bluffs outside the rustic,
Givhans Ferry cabins, as well as from the back porch of the community building. A shaded campground, nature trail and picnic shelters are also available at the park.
