Discover the beauty and history of Congaree National Park on a self-guided walk along the 2.4-mile Boardwalk Loop Trail, where towering trees, diverse wildlife, and centuries of natural and cultural stories come together in one unforgettable forest adventure.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Visit the Harry R.E. Hampton Visitor Center for maps, exhibits, and park info.
• Walk the Boardwalk Loop Trail to see giant trees and swamp wildlife.
• Hike Sims Trail for a peaceful forest walk with great birdwatching.
• Relax by Weston Lake and watch turtles and fish in the calm water.
Please note: the lower half of the Boardwalk is closed for construction with plans to reopen in 2026. Until then, he first half of our tour can be taken as normal, and the latter half can be finished by taking the Sims Trail to complete the loop.
