Kayaking in Beaufort County just got a bit easier. A lot easier, at that.
Beginner kayakers can rejoice because the Beaufort County Passive Parks Manager has installed a new EZ-Launch kayak launch on the Factory Creek Fishing Pier located in Brewer Memorial Park on Lady’s Island (near the base of the Woods Memorial Bridge).
The device is an easy-to-use launch that allows kayakers a stable platform to enter and leave the water that makes getting into your kayak or canoe quick and simple, no matter your skill level or age.
There is no true graceful way to get in and out of a kayak, and most folks know this firsthand. Sometimes it’s a challenge to make it into one without going swimming.
The county also hopes this will also help kayakers to avoid potential user conflict with motorboats, by having their own recommended launch spot.
