Congaree National Park

South Carolina

Congaree National Park is a little known gem of a National Park.  It is one of the few National Parks on the East Coast.  The park preserves, protects and showcases the last remaining old grown bottomland hardwood forest in the South East United States.  The forest that makes up this park is home to huge towering majestic trees and forest that periodically flood as the basin that makes up the park drains the rain and waters from the interior highlands towards the coast. Boardwalks traverse through the swamps that make up this park allowing visitors to traverse the park and take in its beauty.  Cedar Creek flows through the park and traveling via kayak is a great way to see the beauty of the park as well.  The beauty of these forests is a sight to see.  If you are on the East Coast or down south, this is a must see park.
