    City of Conway, SC approximately 15 miles from ICW; several opportunities to anchor along the way. Downtown has marina with transient slips. Well maintained free floating docks immediately north side of second bridge, adjacent to downtown area; no power or water, but in a no wake zone. River typically 10-12 foot depths during normal river levels. Two fixed bridges with minimal clearance of 35 feet prior to reaching town. Overhead power lines with 45'+ clearance before these bridges are reached. Currents mild and reverse. To avoid easily made wrong turns, recommend obtaining chart of river at Osprey Marina. Although the chart shows ATONS all the way to Conway, in 2020 they actually stop at Red Number 4. Anchorage 50 feet away from, but across from free floating docks. Two other single vessel docks south of second bridge, also adjacent to downtown, with power outlets operated by marina. Restaurants and 'downtown' stores within blocks. Grocery stores, drug stores, Walmart and others within biking distance on sidewalks. Rental cars available, at least one with pickup and drop off service.
