Floating Down The Saluda

Thinking of floating down the Saluda River because it’s a DEEP SOUTH and super hot July, but don’t know where to start. That’s ok, we’ll help! If you want to catch some rays, see some wildlife, and have a fun water day with friends and family, we recommend taking the Riverbanks Zoo to Gervais Street Bridge Route (Aka the Z-G route). Take a 3-hour, 2.5-mile-long float will put-in near Riverbanks Zoo and take you down the lower Saluda river until you reach the West Columbia Riverwalk. Note: This route has Class I + Class II rapids — one to two feet tall rapids over rocks.

Winter On The Saluda River

There’s a stillness that comes with rivers in winter months. Many rivers freeze over up north, while our Saluda River keeps moving in cooler weather and rarely sees ice. But they all know winter.  The sound of water running over rocks is almost more palpable as a brisk wind flows over the river and hits your cheeks. As fish retreat further underwater to conserve their warmth, as birds have flown south to follow warmer temperatures, as friends once sunbathing on riverbanks now gather at their houses around a fire, the feeling a winter river brings is noticeably different. Winter on the Saluda River is still a gorgeous place to be.
