About Woods Ferry Recreation Area

Woods Ferry Recreation Area, in western Chester County, lies within a beautiful wooded floodplain surrounded by upland pine woods and maturing hardwood forests. Campers and day-users can choose from a variety of activities: picnicking, fishing, canoeing, or horseback riding. Its location on the Broad River makes fishing and boating easily accessible. **Woods Ferry campground and day-use area are temporarily closed beginning January 7, 2025. The bridge on Park Road (S-12- 574) leading to Woods Ferry Recreation Area has been taken out of service by SCDOT due to a failed inspection and will remain closed until repairs have been completed. We will update when the bridge has been repaired. Access to Woods Ferry Horse Trail remains open at the Bucks Grave Road parking area.** The day-use area of Woods Ferry is open free to the public. All campsites at Woods Ferry are available for reservation…
