 Cutting through the heart of the Columbia Riverbanks region, the Saluda and the Broad Rivers meet in a rush of rapids churning over giant boulders, then mellowing out to form the tranquil Congaree River. One can get a true appreciation of the beauty of this area by walking along the riverbanks using the Three Rivers Greenway. Observe herons and egrets, leaping fish or grazing deer. The Greenway is currently comprised of 3 riverwalks, with lighted and paved trails, boardwalks and overlooks. Granby Park is a 24 acre stretch located at the end of Catawba Street off Huger Street on the City of Columbia side of the Congaree. The West Columbia Riverwalk is accessed by a parking lot on the west side of the Gervais Street Bridge in West Columbia, off Meeting Street. The Cayce Riverwalk connects to the West Columbia Rivewalk and its parking lot is located off Axtell Drive in Cayce. The Three Rivers Greenway is open for walking, running or bicycling. Baby carriages and wheelchair accessible. Lake Murray is a 50,000 acre man-made lake in the Midlands of South Carolina. It is operated by SCE & G and is known for striped bass fishing and summer water sports. Catch bream, crappie, largemouth bass and shellcracker! Fishing, picnic tables and boat launch on east side of dam. Hwy 6. www.discoversouthcarolina.com/products |
