Congaree National Park, nestled in the heart of South Carolina, stands as a testament to nature's grandeur and resilience. Home to one of the largest tracts of old-growth floodplain forest remaining in North America, this unique park showcases a rich ecosystem vibrant with towering bald cypresses, ancient loblolly pines, and diverse wildlife. As visitors wander along the iconic Boardwalk Trail or paddle through its meandering waterways, they are treated to a symphony of birdsong and the sight of fireflies illuminating the dense canopy during certain seasons. Designated as a national park in 2003, Congaree serves as a sanctuary for both nature enthusiasts and the rare species that call it home, reminding us of the importance of conservation and the boundless beauty of the natural world.

The Boardwalk Trail at Congaree National Park is a captivating journey through one of the East Coast's most unique landscapes. Elevated above the forest floor, this 2.4-mile loop provides an intimate perspective of Congaree's ancient floodplain forest, allowing visitors to traverse between colossal bald cypresses and meandering waterways without disturbing the fragile ecosystem beneath. Informative plaques dot the path, offering insights into the park's diverse flora and fauna. As the sun filters through the dense canopy overhead, hikers can often spot various wildlife, from playful otters in the waters below to birds flitting amongst the treetops. Wheelchair accessible and gently graded, the Boardwalk Trail is an invitation for all ages and abilities to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of Congaree National Park.
