Dawhoo Landing is
located in Charleston County, SC on Edisto Island. The facility fronts on the Dawhoo River and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway as it winds southward from
Charleston Harbor to Savannah. The existing facility had only an old outdated ramp with gravel parking and no service docks. Charleston County Parks and Recreation
Commission secured the
services of Jon Guerry Taylor & Associates to evaluate the existing boating needs and develop a proposed facility upgrade. The upgrade proposed was reviewed by
both the staff and members of the PRT Commission and once approved was permitted through state and federal agencies and readied for final design and construction.
The new facility
included 2 new launching lanes, improved parking for 50 boaters and trailers, fishing pier parking for 12 autos, improved access, night lighting, stone rip-rap
erosion control and “ground out” docks for boat launching service at all tide levels.
The project
construction cost came in under budget and ahead of schedule.
