The Pee Dee River is the largest river system entirely within South Carolina by drainage area, flowing from the North Carolina Piedmont through the lowcountry to Winyah Bay. The river supports trophy catfish, striped bass, and redbreast sunfish populations, and the broad lowcountry reaches offer unique multi-day paddling past cypress swamps and Revolutionary War-era plantations.
