    The northern end of Augusta's canal offers some impressive sights, with dam and canal infrastructure providing an interesting setting, while an apparent tradition of covering all the fences with padlocks seems to have started well before my time given the age of some of the locks. Boating in the canal was an option as well, and it looked like a great place for it. A large event venue overlooks the dam. But if you just want to walk around and take in the nature there's plenty of room for that.

    I can't believe I never knew this place existed! It is such a nice place to visit and see the great outdoors. The river is beautiful and I think it's a great place for a hike!

    One of my absolute favorite places in the CSRA!! Anytime someone visits me from out of town, I always take them here to see the Savannah Rapids at the canal head gates. It gives a great view of a wide area of the Savannah River, where the Augusta Canal begins, and it's absolutely breath-taking. Start walking down the Augusta Canal Trail, and you'll have the river on one side, and the canal on the other. The trail is a great place for a walk, run, or bike ride, and the canal is an excellent place to kayak! Savannah Rapids Kayak Rental inside the park will rent you a kayak so you can kayak down the canal. They will also meet you at Lake Olmstead, where they have a van that will drive you back to the park. Besides the outdoor activities at the park, there are also various picnic pavilions and a large indoor event area (Savannah Rapids Pavilion) where I've seen proms and weddings and other large gatherings. Savannah Rapids Park really has it all!
