Founded in 2020, Wateree Hounds stands as a testament to Camden's rich equestrian heritage, blending time-honored fox hunting traditions with modern sporting excellence. As we enter our 5th season, our organization has quickly become a cornerstone of the southeastern Midlands of South Carolina's vibrant equestrian community.

At the heart of our organization is a formidable pack of meticulously selected foxhounds. Known for their stamina, keen noses, and unwavering drive, these exceptional hounds are the ultimate companions in the exhilarating pursuit of quarry. Their compliant and eager-to-please nature allows us to navigate challenging landscapes with unyielding determination, showcasing their unparalleled tracking prowess across varied terrains.

Wateree Hounds enjoys access to over 20,000 acres of pristine countryside, made possible by the generosity of dedicated landowners and conservation initiatives. Our diverse hunting grounds span historic plantations, state parks, and unique geological features, each offering its own charm and challenges. From the Civil War-era MacBurn Plantation to the rolling hills of Brewer's Plantation, and from the Piedmont environment of H. Cooper Black State Park to the distinctive Sugarloaf Mountain, our territory provides an unparalleled backdrop for our sporting adventures.

Our name pays homage to the meandering Wateree River and the indigenous tribes who once thrived on its fertile banks, reflecting our deep respect for the land we traverse and its rich history. This connection to our heritage fuels our commitment to land conservation and responsible stewardship, ensuring these beautiful landscapes remain preserved for future generations.
