The Savannah Ogeechee Canal was constructed between 1826 and 1830 by African laborers. The canal was used to transport local crops and goods along the Ogeechee River to the port in Savannah. When the Central of Georgia Railroad was constructed, the canal closed.
Now, there is a museum dedicated to the history of the 1880s canal, as well as information on archaeology, birding, and local attractions. There are over two miles of hiking trails departing from the museum taking you to the Ogeechee River. You can choose to hike along the river, hike along the boardwalk or through the forest.
Activities you can do at Savannah Ogeechee Canal Museum:
Hours: Closed Monday and Tuesday. Open Wednesday through Sunday.
Price: $5 for adults, $3 for kids 7-17 and free for kids under 7.
