Planning Ahead for Transportation
If being dropped off at the park, please ensure you will have a return ride. Taxis and rideshares do not often come out to Congaree, and the bus may be unavailable. Please plan ahead.
America the Beautiful Pass Not Needed
As Congaree is an entrance fee-free park (pass not needed to visit), we do not have staff dedicated to selling/issuing America the Beautiful passes. There is no guarantee you will be able to purchase/obtain a park pass during your visit to Congaree.
Boardwalk Partially Closed for Construction
The lower section of the boardwalk loop is closed for construction at this time, and the Weston Lake Overlook is now open. Please click "more" below for a map highlighting the closed section and alternate routes.
Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:14PM EST by NWS Wilmington NC
Lingering water on surfaces from rainfall on Sunday will create patchy black ice on area roads into early Monday morning. Icy spots could form on paved surfaces such as bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways. Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces. The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor vehicle or to slip and fall.
