The Congaree is a navigable river whose bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted, and archaeological sites are state-protected. The riverbanks, canal corridor, and downtown lots are private or publicly held and need permission; unmarked burials are protected by state law.
