The Congaree River and Wateree River dominate this low-lying landscape, defining the southern and eastern boundaries of a region shaped by complex hydraulics and riverine history. The confluence area is home to the expansive Congaree National Park, where the Congaree National Park Wilderness preserves the floodplain ecology around Cedar Creek, Running Lake, and Big Lake. These wetlands and bottomlands are punctuated by landmarks like Devils Elbow and Sampson Island, reflecting the shifting paths of the water.
