Paddling near Rock Hill, SC
Rock Hill sits in York County at the heart of the Catawba River Blueway corridor. The 30-mile reach of the Catawba River from the Lake Wylie dam to the SC Highway 9 Bridge — running directly through the city — was designated a South Carolina State Scenic River in June 2008. Nearby Lake Wylie, the oldest lake on the Catawba chain at roughly 13,400 acres, anchors the area's flatwater paddling.
