The BRO helps out with the shuttles / guiding on those trips so I noticed that there was a mistake on the SR numbers. The trip starts at the [ only] boat ramp on the Broad River at SR 17 and ends at the US Corp of Engineer [ misnamed] Broad River Campground located on SR 79 [and not 77]. Also, you described the shoals at 1/4 mile in length. I think it's nearly a mile long with three sections shaped like a double dog leg. The upper leg has a canal [visible and very useful at low water], the middle leg has no canal, and the lower leg has a class II run on a canal [ calling it that for lack of a better word] that's always visible and always runnable. The middle and lower legs have the shoal lilies. Last year, the river ended not at the shoals but a half mile below the 79 bridge. The lake levels dropping due to the drought added another mile of river. I find it much nicer to paddle a river than a lake. The boat ramp at the US Corp's campground was a couple hundred feet from any water. So, for a short time, the corp campground was more or less accurately named, Broad River Campground.

The boat ramp at the US Corp’s campground was a couple hundred feet from any water. So, for a short time, the corp campground was more or less accurately named, Broad River Campground.

I've got some great pic's of them and the shoal lilies if you're ever interested. Also, let me know if I can help with the exploring part of the Savannah system [ including the Broad River of course].

It's striking to see on Google Earth or Google maps. The shoal lilies peak the third weekend in May. The Broad River Watershed Association does a shoal lily float that Saturday from Hwy 17 to the ACE Broad River Campground boat ramp off Hwy 77. I tried to comment on the Scouting the Broad blog, but couldn't get to a comment page. Vic Johnson, BRWA Joe:

I saw your photography on Deserving Design. Do you have a website or someplace to view your work. I would love to have some of your pieces in our new office. What I saw on HGTV was just beautiful. Please let me know. Thank you. Joe, I manage a dental practice and I’m currently redecorating one of our offices. I saw your photography on Deserving Design.

Challenging, but one of the best paddles I have done it a while. One thing is the river is full of trash. Anyone want to do a before the start of PG'09 clean up of day 1? It will take a lot to clean it, so if you are interested let me know and I will try and get it going.
