The Lynches Scenic River designation extends approximately 111 river miles from US Highway 15 in Lee County to the confluence with the Great Pee Dee River in Florence County. The scenic designation occurred in two parts with the upper 54-mile section designated in 1994 and the lower 57-miles in 2008.

Along its winding course, the Lynches River passes through a varied landscape of pine uplands, farms, rural crossroads, and deep swamp forest. Special features include numerous small islands and sloughs, intermittent bluffs, bottomland hardwood wetlands, and artesian wells. The river corridor provides excellent habitat for fish and wildlife. Recreation opportunities include fishing, boating, wildlife observation, and camping.
