We love coming across those few attractions where you can really sit back and say, “yep, only in Georgia!” We have one particular attraction in Augusta that is so undeniably unique—so truly Georgia, that it is worth visiting with the whole family. Take a wild ride down the Augusta Canal with this Petersburg Boat Tour.
The Augusta Canal has such a uniquely rich history within the state of Georgia, it’s only right that visitors can sit in a Petersburg Boat and learn all about it.
The tour of the canal will highlight the 19th century textile mills, the only two remaining 18th century houses in Georgia, and the Confederate Powder Works buildings.
There are three different types of cruises to take—the regularly scheduled tour, a Moonlight Music Cruise, or to charter a private cruise for the group.
Learn all about the historic landmarks and the role that the city of Augusta played within the Civil War, while floating down the same canal that our forefathers did.
With the purchase of a ticket for a boat tour, guests also will receive free access to the Canal Discovery Center, providing interactive exhibits and history about the canal.
The canal boat tour in Augusta, Georgia begins at this address: 1450 Greene St., Ste. 400, Enterprise Mill, Augusta, GA 30901. Departure times and schedules may vary, so it is important to check the website for more information. The boats are uncovered, so make sure you dress accordingly for the weather. Umbrellas will be provided on board in case rain or extreme sun is abundant.
