Congaree National Park

Congaree National Park

Our homeschool nature club took a field trip here today and had an awesome time! We canoed or kayaked down the river, got out and ate lunch, then canoed/kayaked back up again. It was beautiful. So peaceful and serene! The trees there are gorgeous! The snake we saw swimming in the water wasn't bad looking himself, although I have to admit we might have found him a little bit more attractive if he hadn't been swimming rapidly straight toward our canoe!

Congaree National Park is located in South Carolina. It is home to many Bald Cypress Trees and Water Tupelo trees. Spanish Moss hangs from many of the branches. Snakes hang from some of the branches too!

Visitors to the site can look for wildlife while taking a walk along a boardwalk or while canoeing or kayaking up and down the river. There's also a very nice visitor's center with several nature exhibits inside.

Here are a few pictures of Congaree National Park, as well as some information about the park, for those who are interested.
