Congaree
Congaree National Park is one of the nations newest national parks, one I haven't yet been to. It wasn't the easiest to find, buried in a sleepy neighborhood in super rural South Carolina. Congaree is the largest remnant of old-growth floodplain forest remaining on the continent!
It was a swampy green place, with a pleasant boardwalk through swampy goodness, and several longer offshoots for lengthier hiking opportunity.
We opted for a 4.4 mile hike, which, by the end, felt a lot longer. It was quiet and green and lush and beautiful. The black water was calm and wonderfully reflective..
Parts of it looked like a gnome den, with knotty ground protrusions everywhere, called "knees" in the forestry business.I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.
