About Woods Ferry

A quiet stretch of South Carolina

Woods Ferry Recreation Area sits in the rolling landscape of Chester County, where the pace slows and the canopy closes overhead. The area draws its name from an old ferry crossing, a reminder of the waterways that have shaped this corner of the state for generations.

Today it serves as a gateway to outdoor recreation — fishing, hiking, and quiet moments by the water — while offering simple, comfortable lodging for visitors who want to stay close to nature without sacrificing comfort.
