South Saluda River Clean Up Information

We will be cleaning up the South Saluda River at the "Rock Vanes" and the Adopt-A-Mile clean up of the Highway 11/276 right-of-way two mile stretch adjacent to the Rock Vane area and then fish the Rock Vane area of the stream. We will begin at 9:00 am and it should only take 1 to 1.5 hours to complete the clean up. Afterwards, we will fish the rock vane area or go to the Eastatoe River, if the rock vane area is poor fishing. Orange safety vests and plastic bags will be provided (we also have about 10 pick-up "grabbers" for you to use). You should bring and wear gloves. Come join us for this beneficial effort. We always have loads of fun for a very worthwhile cause.                                          

DIRECTIONS: Go Northwest on US HWY 276 through Travelers Rest. From the last traffic light in Travelers Rest at the Sunrift Outfitters store (on the right), continue on US 276 for 13.3 miles (it combines with US 11 after a few miles) to the pull-out on the right at the river (river is behind the trees on the left). If coming from the Spartanburg area, continue on US 11 to where it joins US 276 going west. Continue on US 11/276 for 2.8 miles past the “F-Mart“ store to the pull-out on the right at the river.
