We visited in December so we had great weather. BOAT HOUSE RENTALS look on Airbnb! The hostess (Beth) operates the rentals and the Sunday market along river. Beth was absolutely informative and an excellent host. This was a great experience, one of my bucket list! This was an excellent and very comfortable hotel option while we were visiting the Augusta, GA area last weekend! This boathouse lodging is situated conveniently on the Augusta marina, so there was no parking issues. The reservation process was very easy, and we had no issues communicating with the owner all through our visit. This houseboat was an older vessel, that was restored and could easily be enough space for 4 adults. On our visit we just had 2 adults, so the full size bed was more than comfortable. They also have two two size buckbeds that could be used for kids or other adults. This houseboat was very cozy and comfortable. It had direct TV and all the other options (microwave, refrigerator, stove.

This one doesn't go all the way to the mountains, but you could easily spend a day on it on foot, and biking and boating are options as well. The infrastructure was good, and multiple open bathrooms and water fountains were available. The paths were generally quite wide (as former towpaths) and had plenty of space for bikes and pedestrians to share, with a couple of interesting exceptions. I didn't do any tours, but I expect the history is worth pursuing.

It is usually well-attended and I have not had any safety concerns; it certainly feels better than comparable areas on the other side of the river.

It's definitely a good way to get a taste of the environment without driving too far from the city.

It also has a small playset for younger children. It is also located by a little creek. They have been doing a lot of remodeling & renovating during the past year. You can visibly see where they use their funds to make improvements. The park is well kept. You can rent/reserve fields for games or practices. It is also very community friendly as they usually allow different groups to hold events there. I've seen the concession stand open sometimes when there were soccer games, there is an annual Easter Egg hunt there, the North Augusta rock group held a swap there, and many families like to hold birthday parties there. During the off season, sometimes the softball fields aren't always completely kept up. One or two of the fields may be missing bases or a pitching rubber, but another field usually will have it. It is still a great place to go.

I have no problems with this location at all. It's always clean and one year my family held a family reunion outside at the picnic area. This park is always bustling with people. Whether they are practicing in the football field, playing basketball in the gym, or any other numerous activities that are held here, everything runs smoothly and safely. This is a great place to be!!!

It's a fully brick walkway along the Savannah. My family enjoyed our time here while we took a break from bike riding. Along the path there are numerous picnic tables that offer spectacular views of the river, but the path does not offer a lot of shade. However there is an amphitheater that has a canopy with a couple of benches, if you are looking to get out of the sun. Although my family had a good time at the Riverwalk there is some maintenance that needs to be done. The trellises that are in front of the amphitheater were withered; there was noticeable deterioration of the wood and visible rotting of the wood. Even though the riverwalk path needs some maintenance, I had a wonderful time enjoying nature and relaxing near the Savannah River. I would definitely recommend going to the Riverwalk in Augusta Georgia, if you want to get some fresh air while enjoying the scenery and the sounds of nature.

I assume it's about 3 miles as you can walk at the top level or the bottom level. What was really nice was that along the journey was the water where you you saw the different level measures of flooding in the area that occurred like in 1908, 1928, 1990 and other eras. There were beautifully crafted artwork either bought or on loan to the city of Augusta. Also there were a lot of historical plaques of which one was a paper mill in the area at one time but I'm not sure of the actual location. There was a photo of Moody 1946 which was interesting. I was really sad to see so many fallen beautiful trees which showed how the ecosystem is changing and impacting Mother Earth. I would definitely be going back to this place again.

It stands as a representation of a small town once here, but overtaken by the growth of Augusta. There are benches to sit and you can walk to the top (behind and under the large sculpture) to get a great view of the new Cyber Center. This is technically on the corner or Reynolds and 12th Street so walking to it is a breeze. Be sure to visit regularly though as it looks like they are adding historical plaques finally. *Insider's Tip -Come anytime, but especially at sunset. It makes for beautiful pictures (selfies and landscape).

A reflecting pool, bronze historical plaques and a 45-foot stainless-steel sculpture by Richard Hunt highlight the park. World renowned sculptor Richard Hunt unveiled his masterpiece "Tower of Aspirations" in this new urban park on February 10, 2002. The second sculpture titled "And They Went Down Both into the Water" was unveiled on June 1, 2006. Still under development for the park are plaques explaining the history of Augusta's Springfield area and the importance that Springfield Baptist Church played in the early and ongoing history of Georgia. This is a beautiful area and there once was a botanical garden just across the street that boasted beautiful greenery and flowers. I scouted this location for an upcoming photo shoot I am doing. I think this is a perfect location with its sleek and elegant look. It will definitely compliment the wardrobe in this photo shoot. I'm very excited to feature this park in my artwork. I know the images will be outstanding and very classic.
