SCE&G Access/Gardendale Hand Launch is a carry-in boat access point located 3. 5 miles downstream from Saluda Shoals Park on the north bank of the Lower Saluda River near the Gardendale community.

The site provides hand-carry launch access for canoes and kayaks with ample parking available, making it a convenient take-out point for paddlers running the upper section of the river or a put-in for downstream trips toward the I-26 bridge and beyond.
