Spider Lily Paddle
multiple dates available
CoLumbia, SC

The Safari
Have you ever heard of an “Endangered Plant”? The Rocky Shoals Spider Lily is one such species of plant that we nearly lost to extinction. The absolutely gorgeous flowers come into bloom in May & June and Columbia SC happens to have its very own population that dots its way along the confluence to the Congaree River. While typically we go to view wildlife on safaris, this safari will be focused on the plants. We will be paddling on the Congaree River where we will launch at Riverfront Park North & exit at Senate St in Columbia. Upon exiting the river, we'll shuttle you back to your cars at diversion dam. This paddle can be somewhat difficult as this stretch of the Congaree River is very shallow, so it's very easy to get stuck on rocks. Captain Zach will be leading the pack through the Class 1 & 2 rapids. You must know how to swim in order to take part in this safari.
