Augusta Canal Trail (Augusta)

“Augusta Water Works is a low-stress launch point for the Augusta Canal trail, with mellow asphalt and dirt sections, side-by-side views of the canal and Savannah River, and plenty of history sprinkled in from the old mills. Walk it, bike it, maybe cast a line if you packed a rod.”

Canal Trail (Augusta)

“Tucked along the Augusta Canal, The Clearing Savannah Rapids is the easy pick for after-work miles or lazy weekend spins, with a wide, flat towpath that keeps hikers, runners and cyclists moving. Keep right, pass left, leash the dog, and enjoy one of the flattest, easiest paths in town.”

10th St (Augusta)

“Riverwalk Augusta is a multi-level brick path hugging the river that’s ideal for a quick reset or long chatty lap. Read the history plaques, pop into the Morris Museum of Art or the Augusta Museum of History, and if you time it right catch the Augusta Market or a set at Jessye Norman Amphitheater.”
