Cherokee Ford Recreation Area Hand Launch

Located river-right above Cherokee Falls Dam on Wolf Den Lane in Gaffney, this hand launch provides easy access to the Broad River from a dirt clearing on the riverbank.

The access serves as a put-in point for paddlers heading downstream toward Pick Hill River Access (4. 9 miles away), though portaging around Cherokee Falls Dam is required; note that paddlers should stay river-right to avoid the dam and its facilities.
