The Cayce Riverwalk in South Carolina features 12 miles of paved pathways and wooden boardwalks. It is also part of the Three Rivers Greenway.
If you pay attention, you can spot hand carvings by artist Wade Geddings.
What is wonderful about these pieces is that they were all carved into downed trees or stumps left from downed trees.
So nature was not harmed in creating these whimsical piece for the public to enjoy.
Many of the trees were ones that fell during the historic flooding here in 2015.
There are 11 here but apparently there are 12 total. So we still have some searching to do!
A brilliant use of fallen trees.
This little guy below seems to have experienced some decay but is still adorable. They can end up under water during times of flooding.
Another piece of art along this walk is a wrought lion bench by John and Venetia Sharpe.
I hope you enjoyed this stroll.
Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
The connected Timmerman Trail and Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve are located in Cayce, SC.
It is by far my favorite nature walk around here since you never know what wildlife you will see (as shown below).
These are part of the Cayce Riverwalk that we enjoy so much. Paved pathways meander through the woods for a peaceful walk (or run or bike ride).
It meanders along the Congaree Creek (that is off the Congaree River). Boardwalks have been installed where needed.
On the banks we spotted my first wild alligator!!! This dude was off in the distance so here is the best photo we got.
This one I never really expected to see, a timber rattlesnake!
In this photo below you can see its rattle in the upper left corner!
It was quite intimidating but as long as you don't bother them, they will not bother you.
We also saw my first skink!
How amazing is that blue tail?
We also spotted our first butterfly of the season which is a zebra swallowtail. Gorgeous!
One of our walks was after heavy rain, so snails were crossing the pathways.
It is full of little bits of nature, much of which is new to me living in a different climate. These seed pods were always brown up north. They are pretty pink things down here.
There is all sorts of wild and crazy growth attaching itself to trees. Just gorgeous!
Some of it looks magical.

I hope you enjoyed our wooded stroll. We are getting as many walks in as we can before the buggy, super hot southern weather kicks in for the summer!
