That's beautiful. Where is this from? Are mosquitos and bugs a problem?

All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

This is in South Carolina, not far from Congaree National Park. Mosquitos aren't too big of an issue, but they're definitely around. The majority of the water in this area is still moving, albeit very slowly. It's enough to prevent mosquitos from laying eggs. However, once the area dries up a bit more and water level starts going down, this will turn into big pockets of stagnant water. That's when you'll start to see more bugs. That typically happens later in the summer though, this time of year there's enough rain to keep that from happening.
Sounds like a perfect place to be with nature :)
