Can I bring my own boat or rent a boat at Pine Island State Park?
Day-use boat access for trailered or motorized boats is not available at Pine Island State Park.  No boats are available for rent at the park. Visitors are welcome to bring car-top watercraft, such as kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. While there is no designated launch, small watercraft may be carried to the water and launched near the overflow parking area by Sunset Hall. Due to the narrow causeway entering the park, boat trailers are not permitted for day-use visitors. All watercraft must be transported on top of a vehicle or in a standard-sized truck bed. 

 

Can I launch my boat at one of the boat ramps?
Boat ramps at Pine Island State Park are reserved for marina slip lessees only. 

 

Can I access Pine Island State Park by boat from Lake Murray?
Only visitors with a registered marina slip may access Pine Island State Park by boat.

 

Please visit the Marina page for more information.  We will update the information on this page as soon as the details are finalized.

 

Pine Island State Park does not offer any shelters for rental at this time, due to limited parking.  Shelters can be used on a first-come, first-served basis when the park is open to the public.

 

 

You can access the park on foot or by bicycle during normal operating hours if you pay admission or have a Park Passport.  Parking outside the entrance is prohibited.  Unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense.

 

Golf carts are treated the same as full-sized motor vehicles at SC State Parks. For safety purposes and to protect the park’s natural resources, golf carts and all other public motor vehicles will be restricted to parking in the Public Parking located near Sunset Hall.

 

Due to limited parking, Pine Island State Park will not offer any facility rentals for large groups until after renovations at Sunset Hall are completed.  Please see the Sunset Hall page for more information.
