Water recreation and nature abound as Columbia sits at the confluence of three rivers just downstream from a 50,000-acre recreational lake located in Lexington, Lake Murray. Countless parks and green spaces are sprinkled throughout Columbia and Lexington, following the river way and offering wide open spaces for enjoying nature, jogging, walking trails, cycling, kayaking or just reading a book while enjoying fresh air. Walk among the tallest trees on the East Coast in the Congaree Swamp, grab an inner tube (and a beverage) and float down the river or lace up your gym shoes and take your favorite four-legged friend for a run. How about a mid-run dip in the river to cool off?
