While summer has come and gone, it's never too early to start planning activities for next summer. The Charleston area has a wealth of watery destinations to go when you need to beat the heat. The Charleston region boasts one of the longest blackwater rivers on the continent in the Edisto River, and a popular activity among locals is to float down it on some inner tubes or inflatable rafts.
