Columbia's outdoor jewel, where "kids" of all ages can walk, jog, ride, fish, stroll, follow their dogs and skate along beautiful Riverfront Canal for FREE. Added bonus, you get a free history lesson about the state capitol.

Attractions highlights:
- Broad River Bridge, the Civil War battle site that forced Columbia's mayor to surrender the city.
- Former site of the world's first hydro-electrically powered textile mill, currently the municipal water plant (built in 1906).
- The ruins of the state's first prison that operated until 1993. Some say it is still haunted by its formers "guests"....
-  Remnants of the Appalachian Mountains and a tectonic plates collision.
