Nice trail along the Congaree River, a very pleasant place for a walk.

Took our granddaughter there. Looked nice. Very clean not too crowded.

Short walk through the park that overlooks the Congaree River and sometimes freight trains traveling across from Cayce to Columbia, SC and vice versa.

Great walk to beat the heat plenty of places to stop and sit and take pictures

Such a beautiful place to enjoy. A must see if not from around here. Very peaceful and quiet

Good park to excercise and have a me time.

We went on a rainy, muddy day-- I loved it! We slipped and slid through some of the trails and had a ball. Definitely peaceful and a great place to meditate- especially near the waterfall there. We went to magnet fish- no luck but a great experience with nature in the city. I would visit again on a dryer day just to tackle some of the trails that were blocked by water and mud.

Very cool walking trail near the river but still in the heart of the city.

Nice walking trails, but the stench of sewage from the small sewage station nearby was almost unbearable.

Very nice to enjoy a walk along the river

Very Beautiful and Peaceful here. Really enjoyed it

Lovely place to walk, swim, etc.

Beautiful n very peaceful. Good to walk day or night!

It has a lot of potential to be a great park. Ran into a drug deal, found broken beer bottles, lots of graffitti, people hanging out in their cars drinking beer. Doesnt seem safe to go by yourself. It is a beautiful area though!

Went early, was nice and cool lots of benches to sit and relax.

Amazing place for walk or jog.Beside the river.Free parking.Public restroom.Scantily populated.

Excellent for Walking, Jogging, Biking. Pet Friendly. Picnic Sheltered Areas.

Its even more beautiful than the last time I visited

Really nice place to go for a walk or just to get outside for a bit. Despite being so close to a busy part of the city, its really quiet and peaceful. There are nice views of the river and plenty of trails to walk on. For the most part its well maintained too. I went here for the first time a couple months ago just trying to kill some time, and now whenever Im in the area I always want to stop by.

Gorgeous place to walk, have a little picnic, and many places that has access to little beaches right along the river. Only down side to this river walk is people dont know how to pick up after their dogs, there is poop laying all over the walk way. People if you have a dog, dont bring them if you dont know how to pick up their poop.

This park is such a beautiful piece of history that we have the privilege to access. Its a great place to get away from the busy city and enjoy nature. There is also a beautiful garden to stroll through

Nice place to walk outside, enjoy the fresh air, and just get away without actually having to leave the city.

Nice place to have a picnic along the river

Great place for a stroll. We saw turtles in the river. Its a good place to get away from the city.

Great place to go and take the dogs for a nice walk. Beautiful place.

A nice place to go fishing

Best of all the parks on the river! Small, never crowded, it’s mostly college students that live in the neighborhood at this park. Restrooms are always clean and the parks staff are very helpful. The one downside, there are sometimes homeless people camping or weirdos wondering around in the woods in the early morning hours, when the park first opens, so make sure you always watch your back!

Super Quite and Very Organic.

Nice park! You walk down a paved walkway next to the river. Bathrooms available too

Easy trails; nice shade trees, lots of benches & fantastic bird song. Clean rest room in cute building adjacent to parking lot. Highly recommend!

The website advertised fishing. I was unable to find a decent spot where I could access the river without sliding down a muddy trail. After taking 2 hard falls I left and went to find a better park for fishing.

Nice park. Lots of parking. Dogs loved it.

Beautiful place but so meant people....

Beautiful area that isnt ever too busy. Nice if you like to run outside in relative privacy.

Beautiful river front park with tons of spots to hangout. Some of my favorite spots include the train tracks, rope swing, tree jump, and lock down near the damn. Perfect place to bring pets or friends for a day of relaxing. Just please no more littering!

Its very wooded. Access to the river is difficult if you want to fish from the bank.

Great place for a enjoyable walk.

Quiet views of the Congaree River. Great spot to hang a hammock. Remnants of the 1820s canal remain intact beside the trail.

Great park. Dont expect excellence, but can be a good place to spend the day.

People smoke a lot here. It’s a really nice place the development of the apartments really screwed it up they also mow a lot - plenty of snakes and giant bugs and spiders

Park is slowly recovering from recent flooding with lots of mud piled up all over the place.

Good place to go with pets or just hang out withfamily and friends but could be cleaner

It is pretty, but no map to explain where it goes or what it has. I saw no pictures to explain and wasnt willing to walk alone to see what was around. It has paved paths saw the river and heavily wooded. The upside I did see cameras at the entrance. Will come.back again and explore and take some pictures. A few people there, but not crowded.

Beautiful park, nicely shaded. Great view of the river and lots of different paths to take.

Beautiful place safe environment

Beautiful park! Nice trail to walk with family and fishing spots!

Very nice and clean park.

Cute park. Not too great for fishing cuz of all the brush. Bathrooms are clean.

Beautiful

Nice little dinner city get away

Nice concrete walking path along Congaree river in downtown Columbia. Wish some of brush was removed on riverside for better views. Walk out viewing platforms could extend about 10 farther for photography. This applies to both sides of the river!

I have a garden plot there, and its pretty nice. The park rangers are helpful. Itd be nice if they developed their trail a bit more. The river is very accessible, and since this park is easy to miss, its never too crowded. A nice calm little park to check out.

Facilities were clean and the trails were clear. The shade and breeze felt great for a walk with the dogs on a hot day.

Good place to walk your dog,go for a quiet walk,sit by the river,relax in a wooded area of downtown.

Peaceful clean and quiet

This is a nice scenic walk through the woods paved trails some woodlands check it out

Limited parking but a nice trail walk

Nice paved trails and tree lined paths

Nice and quiet

Simply awesome

Another great place to sit by the river and relax

This was our holy spot in the early 90s for Cola towns dead heads. We would always come here between dead shows to smoke down, swim, and play drums. It was undeveloped back then and all ours. Know that you are on holy ground babylonians. RIP Kirkman Respect it

Very nice river views.

Great spot to fish and hang out at the river. If youre looking to fish there, wading out a little to get to the main channel will get you better results. Small mouth bass is the most common thing youll catch.

Looks like a real nice park cant wait to go back when I have more time

This park is quieter than most others (less people) and the trail is shady. I enjoy walking my dog here and appreciate that we can get down to the river easily whenever she needs a drink. The bathrooms have been clean everytime Ive visited.

It isnt terribly big, but the views of the river are nice, and it has multiple river entry points. Good if youre looking for something fairly short.

Nice little walking trail

Small park but great shade on a hot day. Nice quiet getaway.

Great park for walking and enjoying the scenery

Love to walk here, gorgeous views and very peaceful

Great walking trail. Be sure to bring bug spray to keep all the mosquitoes away.

Very relaxed park with easy access to the river. One of my favorite places in Columbia.

River access to the Congaree just south of the Blossom St. Bridge. Great historic site, with remnant of the Robert Mills Abraham Blanding canal constructed in the 1820s and a brick cistern from the SC Distillery.Big trees and quiet trails with a new short, section off road bike trail. More to come!

I love to walk in this park!

Nice paved path

A small river based park. You can walk back and forth for about 3.5 miles. Lots of University kids use the river during warm weekend seasons.

Cute little park tucked away in downtown Columbia. Great walk by the river.

Best place ever

Good place to take your dogs for a walk or picnic

Great park great views

A wonderful Park with great paths both paved and not paved with a lot of Wildlife and extensive views of the river with the parts spreading both Southeast and Northwest up and down to Lower South Bank plenty of picnic tables, park benches and a restroom

Beautiful and wild riverwalk!

Enjoyed the scenic walk but the path is much too short. Parking was easy and the area felt safe.

Enjoyed my visit

Very nice

Nice park by the river

Grandy Park has a comfortable walking path through the forest along the Congaree River. There is a parking lot and restrooms at the front on the park. All along the trails are benches for periodic rests if necessary. There are nice views of the river along the path. There is a deck with seating in the back of the park.

Nice park but parking is limited and some areas smell like butt.

Nice place to Run/ walk, onjust Hang out by theRiver

Awesome river front park. Beautiful!

Nice place to take a lunch or walk along the river.

Great place for seclusion!! Peaceful and serene

I love to take walks in this picturesque riverside park

Its a nice riverwalk with several diverging paths and access to the river. Ignore the faint smell of sewage upon first arrival - it is not present throughout the entire park.There is a bit of litter scattered around due to irresponsible youth but its not bad over all. Definitely worth a visit if you like riverwalks or nature.

So peaceful

Love walking on the trails here! The river views are awesome too

Great place for family.

Lovely place work a walk with the dog
