It’s here that travelers can find the largest population ofRocky Shoals Spider Liliesin the world.
And the best way to see them is by hopping aboard a boat along the Catawba River.

Dogs are also welcome on the trail and are allowed to be off-leash in some areas.
However, more adventurous travelers can opt for a canoe or kayak trail that runs through the park.
AsPaddleSCexplained, paddling to these lilies isn’t difficult, but is rated as a moderately strenuous task.
It too is about a 1.5-mile paddle and takes between one to two hours to complete.
