Congaree River Details
The short but wide Congaree River begins its southerly flow in Columbia and makes it way through Congaree National Park before blending in with the Wateree River; the park is about half-way down the river. Though popular with paddlers, don't be surprised if you meet up with barge traffic during high water flows.
