Shem Creek Parking Crisis and Trees

Mount Pleasant’s Shem Creek boat landing is drowning in parking chaos, with fishing guides arriving before 7 AM just to snag a spot—cars blocking trailers and neighbors snapping. To fix it, the town plans 15 new spaces, but that means cutting seven trees, including magnolias and live oaks, sparking heated debate. Officials vow to protect five live oaks, treat them, and plant replacements elsewhere, balancing recreation with nature. The project’s now in final design review, navigating stormwater and code hurdles before construction. It’s a tough act: growing access while preserving what makes the town special.
