Boating from Craven's Grant
Craven's Grant sits on the Intracoastal Waterway. From here, the Sampit opens into Winyah Bay, the bay opens to the ocean, and five rivers reach inland.

The five rivers
All five rivers flow into Winyah Bay right beside Craven's Grant, so a boat from here can head up any of them or out to the ocean.
