Just minutes from the Augusta downtown area, located on 1,100 acres of land is the Phinizy Swamp Nature Park. Wildlife and plantlife are the center focus of this ecosystem. Operated by the nonprofit EcoSystem Institute, the park is scheduled to open its entire facility in late 1999. Call for more details. Located on the banks of the Savannah River and adjacent to the Augusta Canal, the park offers a beautiful view of the rapids and provides an opportunity for canoeing, fishing and bicycling along a scenic 8.5 mile trail which leads to downtown Augusta.
