Wilson’s Landing, one of the newest amenities at Palmetto Bluff Resort, includes dry-stack boat storage buildings, a ship’s store and the Canoe Club, a facility that encompasses a restaurant, docks, small watercraft storage, pools and a fitness center. The restaurant features a vaulted wood ceiling crafted in the style of a canoe’s interior, supported by a series of structural arched ribs. All of the buildings evoke the region’s traditional Lowcountry architecture. The facilities are designed to integrate boating activities on the May River and Water Trail with pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the resort.
