The best way to beat the heat? Hitting the water. Plan a trip to experience Columbia’s three rivers:
- Saluda: Start your journey at Saluda Shoals Park on a kayak or canoe — or, coast down the river on an easy float, courtesy of Palmetto Outdoors.
- Broad: Spend time on these low-class rapids and float past historic spots like the Gervais Street Bridge.
- Congaree: Float through Congaree National Park (SC’s only national park) to witness sites of ancient Congaree Native American settlements.
