Historic Little RiverIntracoastal Waterway
A portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway runs through Horry County from the NC/SC state line to the Waccamaw River for approximately 30 miles. Starting at the north end, the first 5 miles of this section includes the historic "Little River", then starts a 24 miel cut made by the U.S. Corps of Engineers down the Enterprise Landing where it meets the Waccamaw River. This 90 foot wide and 12 foot deep cut is the longest man-made ditch in the entire length of the Atlantic Waterway. It was opened in 1936, adding a much needed dimension to the transportation of the area since roads were very slow to be developed and paved. Today, however, it is used primarily for local recreation craft as a protected means of transporting larger craft back and forth between the north and the south. |
