A visit to the 27,000-acre
Congaree National Park includes driving into to rural Calhoun County, giving one an appreciation for our agricultural heritage in South Carolina. The Congaree Swamp remains intact as an old growth forest, because conservationists stood together to recognize its unique composition of State Champion Trees and flooded bottomlands. The National Park offers a first class boardwalk through the swamp for easy trekking, especially where the ground is full of cypress knees. Not all Swamp critters are easy to spot like a deer or hog, so it takes a keen eye to spot some of them hiding in plain sight.
