Drought Halts Edisto River Canoe Trips at Aiken Park
Park manager Jerry Henshaw reports Edisto River trips paused due to drought with four guided trips yearly and ten dollar per person fees. Canoe rentals remain ten dollars daily with gear, shuttle service, and a safety-first approach as water levels stay low and snags and deadfalls increase. The Edisto River spans about 230 miles and flows through Aiken State Park near SC 302 and US 78, 12 miles east of Aiken. Strong entities cited include Aiken State Park, Edisto River, Jerry Henshaw, and local counties affected by drought.
