In honor of Great Outdoors Month, Columbia’s natural beauty is calling — whether you’re hiking, kayaking, or simply soaking up the sun. | Photos provided by Experience Columbia SC
Pack your bags for a road trip to Columbia, SC this summer, when the city’s natural playground invites explorers of all ages to celebrate Great Outdoors Month in June.
From lush forests to sparkling lake shores, here are four can’t-miss ways to make the most of your outdoor adventure in this capital city:
Explore the old‑growth forest
Walk along elevated boardwalks situated beneath towering loblolly pines and bald cypresses in Congaree National Park. Keep an eye out for playful squirrels, migrating warblers, and the park’s famous swamp lilies in bloom.
Bask in sparkling waters
Whether you’re casting a line from a shaded pier, renting a boat for a day on the water, or simply soaking up the sun on the shore, Lake Murray encompasses spring serenity.
Float down the river
For a splashy afternoon, grab an inner tube and drift beneath leafy canopies on the Saluda River. Gentle currents and scenic vistas make for the perfect adventure. Pro tip: Check out this guide for more river fun.
Camp under the stars
Pitch your tent on one of three serene islands in Lake Murray. Then, enjoy evening campfires, wildlife sightings, and epic sunrises over the water.
No matter which option you choose, Columbia’s great outdoors awaits — ready to inspire, refresh, and connect you with nature all month long.
Nashville’s omakase scene is growing, and it’ll soon include a Michelin-starred name. A California-based restaurant group plans to open Sushi by Scratch later this year on the second floor of The Arcade, offering a 16-course, $185-per-person experience with three seatings nightly.

Open
Volta, a new spot billed as the “world’s first energy drink cafe,” opened last week in Wedgewood-Houston. The biz at 514 Hagan St. serves customizable energy drinks, coffee, and “supercharged snacks.”
Drink
Beep, beep. Surefire Coffee Co. just rolled its fourth location into Bellevue at 8059B Hwy. 100. The new spot offers a drive-thru, picnic tables, and Wi-Fi. To celebrate, score $1 menu items from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, May 13 — only at this location.
Mansion Monday
This Brentwood estate in the Woodward Hills community blends craftsmanship and comfort with hand-hewn limestone, a celestial ceiling in the primary suite, and a painted dome above the spiral staircase. On the outside, find a pool with a custom-built slide, a spa, and a kitchen ready for summer entertaining.
Watch
Did you go bananas at Nissan Stadium on Saturday night? The Savannah Bananas put on a show for a sold-out crowd of ~70,000 fans, and a few special guests stopped by: Dierks Bentley, the Titans’ 2025 draft class, and the US Army Parachute Team (who skipped the parking lot and dropped straight onto the field).
Announced
The Nashville Zoo just welcomed a male southern pudu, aka the world’s smallest deer species. The little one was born to first-time parents Bosa and Pacu and weighs only a couple pounds. Catch him in action daily near the entrance of the Andean bear exhibit.
Coming Soon
