Irvin Pitts Memorial Park offers a large dedicated parking area and boat ramp access to the Saluda River at the scenic Granite Outcrop Shoals near Ware Shoals.

The park features picnic tables and restrooms, making it suitable for wading, tubing, kayaking, and fishing, though paddlers should put in at the far east end to avoid the Class I-II rapids and technical shoals that characterize this section.

In low water conditions, paddling through the shoals may be difficult.
