Home of Champions

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.

We took in the park with a visit to the VC that offers a short movie about the park and then it was off to take in the 2 1/2 mile Boardwalk loop trial. It was a perfect day for a trail walk and we all enjoyed all that the trail had to offer. Not much in the way of wildlife presented itself but the trail gave great views of the park and scenery. Lots of Cyprus knee's and plant life. We what to put this Park on the return list to take a canoe trip down the river.
