This 33 acre park is home to the Savannah Rapids Pavilion and the Historic Augusta
Canal Headgates. This newly developed area overlooks the picturesque Reed Creek Falls
as it flows into the Historic Augusta Canal. Walkers and joggers love the pedestrian
bridge that begins the 7.5 mile trail that takes you all the way to Augusta. Or you
may simply chose to sit along the banks of Reed Creek and listen to the water rushing
past. Picnic pavilions offer shade and a covered area to stop and rest or eat lunch.
