Hagley Landing is the next to last landing on the Waccamaw River and is managed by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. This will be the last section of the Waccamaw River. The river is the widest here, except for the mouth of the Waccamaw River. The landing has a nice beach like area to put in kayaks next to the 2 hard surface launch lanes with a dock you can tie up to.
The maps combines 3 trails together to show where the trails posted below cover in the Hagley Landing area.
The parking area is limited and is actually on the side of the road. The area closest to the landing is used for loading and unloading the boats only. Parking is not allowed there.
The landing is about 130 miles from the dam according to the Waccamaw River Blue Trail.
The address is Hagley Dr., Pawleys Island, SC 29585. Here is a Google map link. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hagley+Landing/@33.436307,-79.1820525,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89003196206bb507:0x7de7d6fe6d2727ca!8m2!3d33.436307!4d-79.1820525!16s%2Fg%2F11c5_j5jln?entry=ttu
This is another landing that has access to multiple creeks and tributaries, including to the Great P*e Dee River. This gives you an option to explore.
This part of the Waccamaw River is considered tidal, so when leaving from this landing you should know what the tide times are, so that you can time resting spot and kayak with the tide. With only being 10 miles from Winyah Bay, the tide affects the current a lot here.
