Saluda Shoals Park offers two boat ramps—one at the upstream end and one at the downstream end of the park—making it one of only two public locations on the Lower Saluda River with ramps for trailered boat launches.

The park is accessible from either Bush River Road or St Andrews Road, features a canoe/kayak launch, river observation deck, and miles of nature trails.

Daily admission fees apply, and visitors should be aware of rapidly changing water levels and dangerous conditions including cold water (approximately 60°F), strong currents, and major rapids downstream.
