Congaree: The Best National Park You’ve Never Heard Of

Paddling the waterways while you’re visiting Congaree National Park is the best way to view South Carolina’s only National Park.

Our Story

It all started with a couple of tubes, life jackets, and a desire to get people outside. Michael Mayo, the Executive Director of Palmetto Outdoor, has since turned his simple love for the outdoors into the largest tubing outfitter in South Carolina, arguably the South East.

Today, there are multiple trip offerings- like our guided Congaree National Park Canoe tour that’s offered year round. Now people from all over the country come to explore the Three Rivers Region and what it has to offer.

The Hidden Gem of Columbia

Although located just outside the city’s center, the Three Rivers Region transports you to a remote getaway with small whitewater rapids and Spanish Moss hanging from the tree canopy.
