Columbia SC Rivers are one of the city's greatest assets, but most people don't realize everything they have to offer. In this episode of the Soda Citizen Podcast, we're joined by Congaree Riverkeeper Bill Stangler to explore the Saluda, Broad, and Congaree Rivers and why they make Columbia one of the most unique cities in the Southeast. 

From urban whitewater and trophy trout to hidden sandbars, rare spider lilies, and even a few surprising stories about what has been pulled from the river, Bill shares what makes each of Columbia's three rivers special and why protecting them matters. We also dive into Columbia's exciting new riverfront park, the future of river access, local wildlife, water quality, and how these waterways are shaping the future of our city. 

Whether you've lived in Columbia your whole life, you're thinking about moving here, or you're just looking for a new way to experience the city, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the rivers right in our backyard.
