Whether you’re looking to soak up the last moments of summer or fully embrace fall, South Carolina’s Olde English District is the perfect place to make a splash.

Kayak, fish, float, or boat through scenic waterways or soak up the sun along the shore for a more laid-back vibe. Looking for your “Notebook” moment? There are plenty of cypress swamps to paddle through.

The best part? Your new favorite spot is just a short drive away.
