| | Historic Columbia, purposefully placed in the heart of the state, is South Carolina’s capital. Although this region is the state’s heartland, a network of lakes and wetlands makes it prime birding and wildlife-viewing territory. Biking, boating, and fishing are also popular pursuits. Visit the Congaree Swamp National Monument to see bats, turtles, feral hogs, bobcats, foxes, and butterflies. |
