Almost ready to start is the Congaree Riverwalk at the foot of Senate Street.  The Congaree Riverwalk, a 20 acre component of the Three Rivers Greenway, will run from the proposed EdVenture Museum on Gervais Street south to the existing Granby Park.  Visitors can explore portions of the historic Columbia Canal.  River paddlesport users can enter or exit at the Senate Street landing.  The bathroom is a 1905 craftsman style pavilion with new showers so paddlers can clean up and hit the Vista.

Congaree Riverwalk will offer its visitors one mile of lighted central paths which will accommodate all levels of physical access including baby carriages and wheelchairs.    Running and mountain bike trails will run along the river.  The park will also have a grass terraced amphitheater set in the trees with a nearby meditative "labyrinth."  A bridge will allow access under the Gervais Street bridge to a plaza north of the Gervais Street bridge linking the proposed EdVenture Museum to the Riverwalk. 

Congaree Riverwalk and its features will accommodate all visitors, even our four-legged friends.  There will be plenty of shaded parking, which will make this is a good place to start your exploring.  For more information on Congaree Riverwalk, please contact the River Alliance office at (803) 765-2200.
