Home to the largest intact expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in the southeastern United States, Congaree National Park protects a remarkable floodplain ecosystem shaped by the waters of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers. The park is known for its towering champion trees, rich biodiversity, winding waterways, and peaceful boardwalk trails that offer visitors a chance to experience one of America’s most unique and wild forest landscapes.
