We are considering purchasing a house in the Hanahan area. The house sits on the water below the Goose Creek Reservoir and before the N. Rhett ave bridge. I’ve never been up that area before and was wondering what the bridge clearances are like between the reservoir and the Cooper River. It looks like, from Google Maps, that there’s three bridges that I would have to go under, from the house to the Cooper River. Can a 17ft cc get under these bridges?
thanks!

Before you buy see if your boat will navigate under the bridges and if you have enough water under your boat.

The railroad trestle is probably the biggest risk. The bridge down by the Cooper will not be a problem.
This weekend offers a good extreme tide range to check.

I’m with Opti. You should be fine. There are a couple of Sea Rays docked in that creek that are around the 30’ mark. My 17’ certainly isn’t a problem.

THAT’S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!
Thanks
That is not a short ride either. You may want to map out distance and take a guess as speed/time to get to the river.

Its about 10 miles.

I really don’t think it’s 10 miles. My 17’ CC can make it from the Cooper to the N. Rhett Bridge in less than 10 minutes… I know I’m not going anywhere close to 60 mph…

at least it looks like there’s plenty of spots to look for fish?
I stand corrected. Doesn’t feel like it… My bad.
