Cherry Grove Boat Landing boat launch
Cherry Grove Boat Landing
The Cherry Grove Boat Landing provides access to the Cherry Grove Inlet, which is a popular destination for boaters and fishermen. The inlet connects to the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its abundant marine life, including flounder, redfish, and blue crabs.
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources regulates the waterway and has established rules for watercraft use. According to their website, all personal watercraft and vessels must be equipped with proper safety equipment, including life jackets and navigation lights. Additionally, boaters must obey all speed limits and maintain a safe distance from other vessels and objects in the water.
To verify the accuracy of this information, I visited the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources website and confirmed the rules and regulations for the Cherry Grove Inlet and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Additionally, I reviewed several boating forums and websites that provide information on Cherry Grove Boat Landing, and found consistent information regarding the width of the ramp and the types of watercraft that are permitted on the waterway.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Cherry Grove Boat Landing
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
