Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve

Bring bug spray!

Great place, we have been there before and hiked the whole thing (which is 3 miles loop is something like that). This time however the middle part was flooded and we retraced our steps and followed the loop from the opposite side. Great park, I highly recommend!

Great scenery but very very dangerous. Adults need to walk in front. Dogs not on short leash might not come back. Serous creatures there one trail can lead to bears. Only got if careful.

Flooded, you definitely need waders to access it. Wish there were better signs at the new kiosk.

Moderately challenging. Go when it hadn't rained in 4 or 5 days, as the trail is clay. Bug spray is needed, especially near the areas with water. Be very careful to watch for snakes and gators too. Use my posted pic of the trail map to reference. The trail is fairly shaded too and I experienced nice moments of cool breezes. My dogs loved it too.
