Large hardwood forest featuring hiking trails, as well as creeks for canoeing & fishing.
"Congaree National Park, covering 26,500 acres of South Carolina, is home to the largest old-growth forest in the southeastern United States. The Congaree and Wateree Rivers flow through the park, helping to sustain one of the highest deciduous tree canopies in the world. Over half of the park is designated wilderness area, so backpackers and hikers will have no problem finding untouched backcountry. There are also ample sites for camping, hiking, canoeing, and bird watching." [Travel+Leisure]
