WHO KNEW THERE WAS A NATIONAL PARK IN SC?? Congaree National Park Hike or Paddle?

Congaree National Park, one of the least visited and sometimes falsely least rated national parks, is just a three hour drive from our home in the mountains of NC. So we loaded up the Winnebago Revel for a trip to “check off another national park”. From the reviews we did not know what to expect. But what we found was those who give the park a negative review must not like old and tall trees… they must not like well maintained trails… they must not like saving money on admission… they must not like water and swamps… they must not love wildlife… and they must love crowds. We found Congaree National Park to be the perfect park for us. There were less than 100 folks in the park… compare that to the 100,000 visitors per day some overcrowded parks get and well, you can see it was a much more enjoyable and less stressful visit.
It turns out there are two ways to see the park. You can hike on one of her more than 35 miles of trails or you can paddle down one of her black water creeks. Since we could not decide we chose to do both and it’s truly difficult to say which we loved more.
