A daybreak start to a paddle in Sparkleberry Swamp
Geared Up
A couple of weekends ago, Lisa and I, along with some good friends spent some time in the midlands, camping, kayaking and geocaching. Our main objective on the trip was to kayak Sparkleberry Swamp, and to log the Geocache that is located there. GCIVONX. Both missions were accomplished, and we all enjoyed time well spent in one of South Carolina's most beautiful wild places.

Sparkleberry Swamp lies at the headwaters of Lake Marion, a part of the Upper Santee Swamp formed by the junction of two mighty river systems, the Wateree and the Congaree. Between them, these rivers drain more than 15,000 square miles of watershed. The Upper Santee extends southward to the Rimini-Lone Star railroad trestle and contains 16,000 public acres owned by the South Carolina Public Service Authority, better known as Santee Cooper.
Carolina living!
