Augusta Canal Trail — Attraction in Augusta

2025-02: Still a beautiful place, but humbling to experience the insane changes to the landscape since Hurricane Helene devastated the CSRA. Went one night to have a leisurely walk with someone. The trail heading north from Augusta Water Works is temporarily closed (I'm assuming from trees still being down and the trail being a hazard in places.) It will be open again soon, though, so just have patience while crews are still working so hard to clean up debris everywhere in the CSRA. The trail heading south from Augusta Water Works was still open, so we enjoyed a stroll for a short distance before heading back and stopping to take some pictures at Water Works

2020: Great place to enjoy a beautiful day. This particular section of the Augusta Canal Trail includes a short walk from Eisenhower Park for access to the canal trail, Water Works, and access to the Savannah River. Great for a leisurely walk or riding your bike. A lot of kayaking activity in the canal and river. Plenty of side trails right down to the banks of the Savannah River as well. All ages seen throughout the afternoon, as well as plenty of fur babies. Relaxing and friendly vibe all around. Bonus: clear water that you can walk into and be in ankle deep, or have a sense of adventure and wade into a variation of manageable depths of water by crossing over/through the rocks. Awesome finds out in the middle of the river. 😁 Just be careful of water that isn't moving at all (personally experienced this at ankle deep). We found some leeches hanging out on some rocks under the water. Unsure of...

I love this trail for running, walking, just getting outside in general. Plenty of space for people who understand it’s a shared space. I go in from the Sav Rapids bc I am more afraid of the bridge on the other side. Plenty of bike riders and place to rent bikes. I saw a little snake one day. Yikes lol. It’s hikers out there. I love to look at the plants and flowers as well. I have only went 4 miles into the trail. I hate that some people leave bags of poop on the trail but it’s the people not the trail. It smells a little rank of dog pee at the entrance sometimes too BUT again it’s not bad and it’s people and dogs Not the trail. It’s a 22 min drive from me but so worth it. Great for sunny days when I want to workout outside and have some shade. I see kayakers on the water and it’s a place to rent kayaks. It’s just a great spot for outdoor activity. It’s a playground out there at the rapids too. The path is mainly dirt with a few asphalt areas from the previous structures and structures to create the space. Animals MUST be leashed. Consideration of others is expected in this public space. Plenty of parking. Bridge is wide enough for a wheelchair just don’t remember if the little lip on it is smooth or raised. I recommend it any time of day it’s open and go with friends for an even better experience. Access to fishing, bathrooms and other things you might need before entering the trail. Plenty of parking. Take the kids to burn energy and...

I went on a field trip to Augusta canal with Aiken Senior life services in Aiken SC last year July of 2023. I didn't know that this place was in Georgia.It's something that I've always wanted to do. It was a wonderful experience with the group that ,road on the boat with me. I had taken photos of me and the other people on the boat however, scammers and hackers keep ruining my cell phone now those photos and some others that I want to keep are destroyed when it caused my phone to die and shut down.This has gotten way out of control.People have no respect for others They have been bothering me for a long time.I don't know why I'm a target and that bad people are harmful.Thank God for Aiken Senior life services and their essential resources. I pray that the Lord blesses all of my education and investments to improve everything...
