Beatys Bridge Boat Ramp

Beatty's Bridge Boat Ramp is located upstream of the Highway 176 bridge on the Tyger River and features paved parking and a steep dirt boat ramp accessed via a marked dirt drive on Whitmire Highway.

This access point is ideal for paddlers beginning longer downstream trips, though users should note the next take-out at Shelton Ferry Landing is approximately 16 miles away (8-9 hours of paddling), requiring adequate preparation.

The ramp is open dawn to dusk and is maintained by the Sumter National Forest.
