About Savannah-Ogeechee Canal
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Savannah-Ogeechee Barge Canal is one of the prime relics in the history of southern canals. Beginning with the tidal lock at the Savannah River, the waterway continues through four lift locks as it traverses 16.5 miles before reaching another tidal lock at the Ogeechee River. In conjunction with the Chatham County Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Department, the Savannah-Ogeechee Canal Society is working to turn the canal into a multi-purpose linear park. Currently, most of the effort is expended at the Ogeechee River terminus where a small museum and nature center is open to visitors near Lock 5 with displays that emphasize both the canals history and the natural history of the local area. A half-mile walk along with Heel or Tow paths provides a delightful and attractive setting to enjoy this unique waterway. From Savannah-Ogeechee Canal webpage
