At Congaree National Park, you can find yourself under the 100 foot canopy of old growth trees while still being only 20 minutes from what city?

Established in 2003, Congaree National Park in South Carolina is known for its huge old growth bottomland hardwood forest. Despite what people think, Congaree is not a swamp but a floodplain as it's not covered permanently with water. The entrance to the park is less than a 30 minute drive from the capital of South Carolina, Columbia.
