The park preserves the largest tract of old growth bottomland hardwood forest left in the United States.

Congaree National Park: 100 National Park Rd, Hopkins, South Carolina, USA

Known for its giant hardwoods and towering pines, Congaree’s floodplain forest includes one of the highest canopies in the world. The park provides a sanctuary for plants and animals, a research site for scientists, and a tranquil wilderness setting for walking and relaxing in.

The whole park was flooded when I visited; only one trail was open to the visitors.
