There are only a few places to access the Tyger River from public property, without being in the National Forest. There are only two places that I have found so far. I am always looking for new public access on South Carolina waterways, so I will update this listing as I find new Locations that will work for dredgeing access.
Gordon’s Bridge: from Whitmire, take State Highway 72/121 for about 8 miles to Highway 35. Turn right and follow this road for about 5 miles until you come to Highway 54. the first bridge you come tois Gordon’s Bridge, about 1 miles. This access point is on private property. (I have not been to this location. I do not know anything about the condition of this access or if there is any gold in the location. I do know, that there is really good gold a mile and a half from here on a small stream that feeds this river. It is published as a public canoeing access that is surrounded by private land. The Tyger River is navigable, so in the state of South carolina the riverbed cannot be privately owned.)
Cedar Bluff Bridge on Highway 49: from Union,take State Highway 49 west to the Cedar Bluff Bridge, about 8 miles. This access point is on private property. (I have not been to this location. I do not know anything about the condition of this access or if there is any gold in the location. It is published as a public canoeing access that is surrounded by private land. The Tyger River is navigable, so in the state of South carolina the riverbed cannot be privately owned.) |
