Tips from locals
Just 30 minutes away, this underrated National Park has beautiful forests and swamps. Bring bug spray and be on the lookout for birds, reptiles, and insects.
We are one of the only major cities with a National Park within 20 miles. Astonishing biodiversity exists in Congaree National Park, the largest intact expanse of old growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the southeastern United States. Waters from the Congaree and Wateree Rivers sweep through the floodplain, carrying nutrients and sediments that nourish and rejuvenate this ecosystem and support the growth of national and state champion trees. For exciting adventure, try paddling the park's "blueways" during spring or summer to be blown away by an astonishing array of biodiversity.
