Givhans Ferry State Park, State park in Dorchester County, US

Givhans Ferry State Park is a public park in Dorchester County, South Carolina, set along the Edisto River with wooded trails, riverside access, and four permanent cabins for overnight stays. The terrain mixes dense forest with open riverbank, giving visitors a clear sense of the Lowcountry landscape.

The park was established in 1934 as part of South Carolina's push to create public recreation spaces during a period of economic hardship. Its buildings and facilities were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a federal work program of that era.

The park is named for Phillip Givhan, a ferry master whose Givhan's Ferry carried travellers between Augusta and Charleston across the Edisto River. The river itself is a blackwater stream, and the park's prehistoric ocean-deposit bluffs are protected as a Heritage Trust Site.

Access to the Edisto River is via a boat drop-off area for small boats; the park office rents fishing rods and reels. The multi-purpose River Bluff Nature Trail serves hikers and cyclists, and the Riverfront Hall can be rented for gatherings of up to 100 people. Historic CCC cabins come fully furnished for overnight stays.

The park sits at the end of one of the longest stretches of free-flowing blackwater river that paddlers can travel without any portage or interruption in North America. Those who start upstream at the nearby Colleton State Park often finish their multi-day paddle journey right here.
