Congaree National Park
Don't miss the 2.4-mile Boardwalk Loop Trail that leads down into the old-growth hardwood forest.
Lose yourself in this floodplain forest that boasts one of the highest canopies in the world. Located on the Congaree River in central S.C., this diverse land is a human and wildlife sanctuary. The 22,200-acre park protects the largest tract of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest left in the U.S.
One of the best ways to appreciate the champion trees and diverse wildlife is on the water. The Creek Canoe Trail winds 15 miles through the Congaree Wilderness. Bring your canoe or kayak, or rent from a nearby outfitter in Columbia. Fish anywhere in the park, except for the Weston Lake overlook.
The numerous hiking-only trails at Congaree lie within a floodplain. This makes the terrain very flat with little elevation change. All trails start at the Visito
