Starting in the Spring, join a park ranger for a guided paddle along Cedar Creek in the Congaree National Park. Paddlers experience this unique old-growth bottomland forest while paddling through large bald cypress and water tupelo trees draped with Spanish moss. You will be surrounded with the sounds of songbirds, owls, and woodpeckers as you paddle through the Congaree Wilderness. White-tailed deer, otters, and raccoons may also be spotted along the banks of Cedar Creek. The park provides 2 & 3 person canoes, life jacket, and paddles for up to 16 participants per tour. Bring water, snacks, insect repellent, sunscreen, and shoes that will get wet (no flip-flops). At least one adult (18+) must be in each boat. Children must be at least 6 yrs. old. Participants should know how to swim. Contact the park (803)776-4396 for more details.
