Berry Shoals Pond is a flatwater reservoir along the South Tyger River in South Carolina that offers beginner-friendly paddling opportunities. The pond has two main access points: Tygerberry Landing at 388 Berry Shoals Road in Duncan, and Brown's Bait and Tackle Shop. Tygerberry Landing features an ADA-accessible dock funded by Duke Energy Foundation, making it particularly suitable for paddlers with limited mobility. The landing includes picnic benches, a loop trail with exercise stations, and viewing benches overlooking the water.
All boats on Berry Shoals Pond must have a Lake Access Sticker available from SJWD Water District. Only non-motorized vessels are permitted. Brown's Bait and Tackle charges a $3 launch/parking fee and is open daily from 7 AM to 6 PM.
Paddlers can explore approximately two miles upstream from the pond, with predominantly flatwater conditions making it suitable for novice paddlers. The area around Tygerberry Landing offers excellent bird watching opportunities, with regular sightings of songbirds and waterfowl including blue heron, osprey, and bald eagles. The pond supports populations of bream, crappie, and largemouth bass.
The park operates from sunrise to sunset and maintains strict regulations: no alcohol, glass containers, fires, or overnight camping. Visitors must pack out all trash. A particularly scenic paddle route starts at South Spencer Street, passing under three bridges including I-85 before entering the pond - a trip that typically takes less than half a day.
Facilities at Tygerberry Landing include picnic areas and a walking trail the length of a school track. The tree-lined shores create a backdrop for paddling, while the facility's design provides multiple spots for fishing and relaxation along the water's edge.
