About This Trail

For a more immersive Congaree experience, the Weston Lake Loop extends to 4.4 miles, passing through areas where you might spot river otters, wild boar, or the elusive bobcat. The trail visits an oxbow lake formed when the Congaree River changed course. The park’s designated Wilderness area offers backcountry camping for those seeking true solitude.
