All About Augusta History Sports Outdoors Arts & Entertainment Dining & Nightlife Location

Outdoors ...not all water is considered a hazard

While water hazards on the course challenge the avid golfer, the Savannah River bordered by Riverwalk Augusta, Strom Thurmond Lake and Dam, Lake Olmstead, the Augusta Canal, and Savannah Rapids provide many leisurely activities throughout the year including:

Swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and even cycling along the Canal

Augusta is recognized as the water sports capital of the Southeast and home to the Augusta Southern Nationals (the world s richest drag boat race) and several international rowing regattas

One can also enjoy the beauty of the wild at several state parks, as well as Aiken s Hitchcock Woods, the largest urban forest in America.
