Howard Bridgman River Access at Bacons Bridge is a carry-down facility for canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and small john boats located at 200 Renken Road in Summerville, with free parking in a dedicated gravel lot.

The site features overhanging limbs, partially submerged obstacles, and a narrow twisting channel both upstream and downstream, making it ideal for paddlers planning trips on the Ashley River Heritage Trail.

Plan your visit around tidal changes, as the falling tide is best for paddling downstream toward Herbert H. Jessen Landing.
