About This Trail

Congaree National Park protects the largest intact expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in the southeastern United States. These champion trees—some of the tallest in the East—create a cathedral-like atmosphere on the 2.4-mile Boardwalk Loop Trail. The elevated boardwalk allows you to explore this unique floodplain ecosystem without getting your feet wet.
