Irvin Pitts Memorial Park offers a large dedicated parking area and direct access to the Saluda River's scenic granite shoals, making it ideal for wading, picnicking, and paddling.

Paddlers should put-in at the far east end of the park to avoid the Class I-II rapids and boulder-strewn shoals; in low water conditions, navigating the shoals may be difficult.

The park features picnic tables and restroom facilities, with the unique opportunity to rock-hop across the water-sculpted granite outcrops during low water levels.
