Downtown Augusta has restored the Enterprise Mill into a center about the history of cotton in Augusta and the importance of the Augusta Canal. Petersburg Boat tours are offered here in conjunction with the Mill tour. The Canal runs from downtown Augusta north paralleling the Savannah River to the rapids in Columbia County. All in all it's a very nice overview of the history of the region and Augusta in particular. The Lock and Dam now offers a big covered picnic area with water, screened buildings and barbecue pits all located on the Canal.
