Paddle through the largest stand of Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies in the world and then hike through 19th century canal ruins!

2025 Spider Lily Eco-Tours are available on May 18, May 19, May 31, and June 1 at 9 AM and 2 PM.

Location:

We’ll start our adventure at Landsford Canal State Park in Catawba, SC. This park is home to well-preserved remains of the canal system that made the river commercially navigable in the 1800s. The paddling route is roughly 2 miles. We’ll take out just downstream from the spider lily overlook. Your boat and gear will be shuttled back to the park while we hike 1.5 miles on the Landsford Canal Trail through the historic canal ruins of Landsford Canal State Park.
