About New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam Park in Augusta
New Savannah Bluff Lock & Dam Park is located along the Savannah River in Augusta, Georgia. The park surrounds the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam, a structure completed in 1937 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dam creates a steady, controlled 10-mile long river pool upstream.
The park offers recreational opportunities for visitors, with areas for fishing, boating, and picnicking. A boat ramp provides access to the Savannah River for those wishing to launch watercraft. The open green spaces in the park allow for various outdoor activities and relaxation.
Families can enjoy the playground facilities, making it a kid-friendly destination. The park also features outdoor restrooms for visitor convenience. For those interested in the dam's history and operation, the lock and dam structure itself can be observed from designated safe areas within the park.
While primarily a day-use area, the park does offer some facilities for rent, such as picnic shelters or pavilions, which can be used for gatherings or events. The waterfront location provides scenic views of the Savannah River and opportunities for wildlife observation.
