Starting in downtown Columbia, you quickly leave the city behind and float for 46 miles without another public river access. The Congaree is a big, wide river with densely forested banks, huge floodplains, and occasional tall bluffs. Numerous sand bars and Congaree National Park offer excellent camping opportunities. If you want to explore the National Park, you can access hiking trails or paddle up the Cedar Creek paddling trail from the river. This is a long overnight, or an easier two-night camping trip.
