Riverwalk

The excitement of Augusta begins on the water! A leisurely stroll down a tree-shaded walkway... concert under the stars... an afternoon picnicking... shopping...touring the museums... Augusta's Riverwalk has something for everyone to enjoy.

Located in downtown Augusta on Reynolds Street between 7th and 10th streets, Riverwalk is an integral part of the downtown Augusta revitalization project. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, and historic sites, Riverwalk is truly one of the city's finest offerings.

In the mid 1980's community leaders realized the potential for transforming the riverfront into a thriving business and tourist center. It took an act of Congress to breach the levee, which lines the shores of the Savannah River, and was completed in 1917 to protect the city from flooding. Ground breaking for the project was held in 1986 and today Riverwalk plays host to festivals, concerts, sporting events and holiday celebrations.
