Riverwalk

The Riverwalk in Augusta, Georgia is a place for exploring the city with river views. It has been called one of Augusta's finest attractions. Visitors to the city can stroll along the paved river walk which has fencing along the river's edge and brick river wall on the other side to separate pedestrians from the above road. The river walk is downtown in Augusta. The river was used for the industrial area. It used to be a busy area for textile mills. Many of these old mills are still standing, which adds to the beauty and history of the walk. Several floods have also been quite significant to the survival of Augusta, hence the brick wall protecting the city. There is a dam 10 miles upstream that helps protect the city.

On the Augusta Riverwalk several events are held such as the St. Patrick's Day Celebration, 4th of July events, and Tour De Georgia. The tour is a cycling event of over 650 miles. The tour always ends in downtown Augusta.

There are areas along the river walk for tourists and residents to picnic or sit around in the shade to watch the river. The river walk is most popular in the warmer summer months.
