Get up and Get adventurous!

Thanks to warm temperatures and sunny days, springtime in Columbia is ideal for getting out and exploring the myriad of outdoor spaces at our fingertips! With various state and national parks, an expansive lake, three rivers flowing through our city, and so much more, there's truly a place for every adventurer. Need an idea for your next adventure? Hit one of the many trails or greenways around town for your next walk, run, or bike ride. Bring the family to Riverbanks Zoo for a mini safari of your own. And as the weather continues to warm up, drop your kayak, paddleboard, or tube in the river to venture down the water.
