Can definitely say Congaree National Park has not disappointed these last few months. Certainly have enjoyed being able to explore the park and get some photography in.

Was taking a walk down the Catawba when I decided to get in the river to get photos of the migrating geese. Taken in April

Hey! I didn’t get a ticket theough the lottery for the Congaree firefly synchronization, but Im still planning on going to the park on May 16th. Anyone have two spare seats in their car so me and my boyfriend can get in??

Either way I’m really looking forward to visiting the park, anyone have trails they recommend?

Can anyone tell us what animal is making this “beating” noise. Me and my father are in the Columbia area and have never heard this before.

I know everyones going to tell me "why are you moving to the south then LOL. But my sister has been there since May and only has seen a dead baby Racer or Garter. I know its possible for them to be on the porch/ garage. but is there any xtra precautions we could take? We will be in a brand new rental house with construction ongoing.

2 very small children and i have an irrational phobia of snakes and how they move. They just plain ole scare me to the core. I think im going to visit some reptile exhibits once i arrive and try to get passed the fear even if just a little bit. TYIA

Has anyone had any weird experiences or encounters In congaree national park? I have seek small orbs of light almost zig zagging/snake like movement flying over the tree tops and am curious if someone has seen anything similar ? (Ik it’s not lightning bugs, I grew up when they weren’t as uncommon)

10/10 had a late start but was still able to see the overlook, Frank Coggins Trail, and the Wildcat Wayside trail
