  • Congaree National Park

    Congaree National Park is located about 20 minutes from Columbia and offers guided tours, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and picnic facilities. There are also children's activities including crafts and games.

  • Lee State Natural Area

    To the east, you’ll find Lee State Natural Area located in Lee County. Nestled in a floodplain forest along the designated state scenic Lynches River, visitors can participate in many outdoor activities exploring the nature trails, artesian springs, millponds, and sandhills. Deer, raccoons, and red foxes are among the permanent residents. Both parks are free of charge and wonderful places for families to explore!
