Billy Tolar Boat Ramp

The W. T. "Billy" Tolar Public Boat Landing provides one of the few public access points to the Wateree River, featuring a paved two-lane boat ramp with dock and ample paved parking.

The facility is free to use and always open, making it a convenient takeout point for multi-day paddling trips or a launch site for fishing and boating activities.

Located on US 378/76 between Columbia and Sumter, it serves as an important access point for the 44-mile paddling section upstream from Highway 1.
