There's also a nice quarry in South Knoxville across the river that we used to go swimming in a bunch. It's got a few cliff jumps too. Pretty fun place

We have only had a couple rain events in the past 3 weeks here. I hope it isn't indicative of a dry summer.
Columbia has never really utilized our waterways enough for tourism in my opinion. It has gotten better, though. I do like the variety. We have rocky areas with some little rapids on the Saluda and Broad Rivers, then we have slow flowing (considered blackwater?) Congaree River that goes through the national park. Then of course, Lake Murray is your typical southern reservoir with the usual amenities. All of this in the Columbia area.

Lots of lakes near Knoxville...but the favorite place for undergrads to go is The Sinks in the nearby Smoky Mountains.

LSU also has False River not too far from BR. Great for wake boarding, tubeing, and a few drive through daiquiri bars right by the water.
It is now an oxbow lake, but was once a main channel in the Mississippi River before being cut off by natural causes. So hey, no bull sharks
At the deepest point it's like 20 ft. Sometimes during the year it's as low as 5.

Tiki Tubing outside of Baton Rouge. Trashy as hell but a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Does your school have any cool, open to the public, water spots near town?
Including cliff jumping, rope swinging, drinking, or anything else fun.

The best thing about Columbia during the summer.. tubing down the river and partying on the rocks. Lots of alcohol and grass in the air.
I miss undergrad.

Certainly not saying they are the best in the world or anything, but South Louisiana is known for beautiful sunsets.
fair enough, Im a former sailor all i ever thought of it was "red sky at night sailors delight red sky in the morn sailors be warned"
