Augusta, Georgia
Nature & Outdoors
Since we’re right on the Savannah River, we’ve got plenty of activities for those who love water. Take a guided tour with Two Dudes and a Boat Kayak Rentals or with Reserve and Ride Watersports. Try Savannah Rapids Pavilion for kayaking, canoeing and SUPing. The lake is perfect for boating or sailing. With water comes greenery, like the Augusta Canal Heritage Area or Phinizy Swamp, which are both great places for hiking or biking. Check out Forks Area Trail System, otherwise known as FATS, the world-class mountain biking trail.
