The River Alliance

The River Alliance In 1994, the Midlands’ Broad, Saluda and Congaree Rivers were an unknown resource. The River Alliance is the non-profit organization that makes it all possible.

The River Alliance is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help the regional community become more engaged with the Broad, Saluda and Congaree Rivers by making the rivers accessible to everyone while keeping them protected. Today, they are the signature of the region and an expanding part of the daily life of the community. Representing the five local governments of Columbia, West Columbi

a, Cayce and Lexington and Richland Counties, The River Alliance's mission is to connect people to the rivers, making them accessible, yet protected. Through the work of the River Alliance and its many partners, the rivers have become a stimulus for economic development, an attraction for regional tourism and an opportunity for local residents to enjoy the history, culture and natural surroundings of the Riverbank’s Region’s three rivers. One of the River Alliance’s greatest accomplishments is the Three Rivers Greenway. This beautiful series of riverfront pathways is in the heart of three cities where the Broad, Saluda, and Congaree Rivers meet. The first plan is 13 miles. We now have 8 1/2 miles of lighted trails and boardwalks, an outdoor amphitheatre, clean restrooms and breathtaking views of the Columbia skyline. It is dog friendly and an ADA accessible environment that everyone can enjoy.

As Columbia looks to care for its natural spaces with a new riverfront park, Cassie Premo Steele urges the city to look at how to care for its young people, too.
