About a 20-minute drive from our house, but
well worth it if you want to see something unique and cross a national
park off your bucket list. Over 25 miles of hiking trails and 2.4 miles of
boardwalk. If there’s been a lot of rain in the area lately, they may be
closed. Check their website before you go. Can also rent canoes and
kayaks in Columbia to explore the water ways!
