English: - Located in South Carolina, the 34 mi2 (89 km2) Congaree National Park is the largest tract of old growth bottomland hardwood forest left in the United States but one of the smallest national parks. The lush trees growing in this floodplain forest are some of the tallest in the Eastern U.S., forming one of the highest natural canopies remaining in the world.
