Congaree Eclipse Hike - Phillip's Tract

Astonishing biodiversity exists in Congaree National Park, the largest intact expanse of old growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the southeastern United States.  Waters from the Congaree and Wateree Rivers sweep through the floodplain, carrying nutrients and sediments that nourish and rejuvenate this ecosystem and support the growth of national and state champion trees.

Congaree National Park

Join a volunteer park naturalist for a short hike into the Phillip's Tract for a once in a lifetime view of the Great American Eclipse 2017! This easy hike will allow participants open views of the sky as the moon slowly begins to cover the sun, turning say into night. On this hike, you may hear owls and have the opportunity to see other nocturnal creatures come out in the middle of the day!
