Welcome to the Augusta Canal

Augusta Canal Schedule & Ticket Prices – Effective March 31, 2007

Petersburg Boat Tours

Daily One-Hour Tours - The 49-passenger open boats leave the docks at Enterprise Mill for hour-long excursions past 19th Century textile mills and an 18th Century trading post. Then its on past the Lake Olmstead Bulkhead where egrets, gray and green heron along with other fishing birds and wildlife make their appearance. The captain comes about (that means turns around for you landlubbers) at the Augusta Water Pumping Station and heads back as passengers scout for sliding turtles and river otter as their lively tour guide narrates tales of Augusta’s past and present.

Saturday Sunset Tours of the full length of the canal have been popular, too. This three-hour outing docks at the headgate area in Columbia County where passengers disembark and stroll over to the Savannah River to catch the breathtaking view.

Moonlight Music Cruise. Relax and enjoy live music on one and half hour Friday evening canal cruises. Click here for performance schedule.
