Description
Have you ever wanted to take a canoe trip on Cedar Creek with a park ranger? The park offers a limited number of guided canoe tours each year as staffing and schedules permit, allowing visitors to experience the Congaree Wilderness in a unique way. While on the creek, rangers will talk about the natural and cultural history of the last remaining old-growth buttomland forest in the United States. Visitors will see large bald cypress, loblolly pine and a variety of wildlife while on the tour. Would you like to join us?
Participants should bring plenty of water for the tour. Layers and extra clothing are recommended due to lower temperatures and the possibility of getting wet and muddy. Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy footwear that they will not mind getting very muddy at the canoe landing area.
Although electronic devices (i.e. cameras, smartphones, etc.) can be brought on tours, there is always risk of these devices getting wet or lost during the tour.
