Riverfront Park and Canal, 312 Laurel Street
This flat, easy walking, paved trail follows the old towpath of the Columbia Canal, which had a brief career in the 19th century, but became obsolete because of the railroads. From the parking area, follow the paved walkway past the Visitor’s Center and cross the Columbia Canal on the footbridge. Turn right to enjoy a walk/ride atop the levee separating the canal from the Congaree and Broad Rivers. You will pass an amphitheater, a picnic shelter, and covered staging area wonderful for all types of events, and several overlooks with benches, which provide a place to stop a minute and enjoy the sounds of birds. The park has the capability of hosting smaller concerts, public speaking events, outdoor banquets and walking type events. During the springtime you may also see spider lilies on rocky shoals of the river. The trail ends at the canal diversion dam, which provides a miniature impersonation of Niagara Falls after heavy rains. On your return, you can vary your walk by descending a stairway and following the lower paved section along the river. Although there is a stairway at each end of this section, there is a ramp at the Broad River Overpass.
