North Augusta is a city of about 24,000 people on the South Carolina bank of the Savannah River, directly across from Augusta, Georgia. It was founded in 1906 as a planned resort town, when the Hampton Terrace Hotel drew wealthy winter visitors to its hilltop, and the city still has leafy older neighborhoods and wide river views.
The city's newest landmark is Riverside Village, a riverfront district built around SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets minor league baseball team, with restaurants, a hotel and apartments overlooking the water. The North Augusta Greeneway, a paved trail of more than seven miles, follows old rail lines and the riverbank through woods and parks. Brick Pond Park, a restored wetland near the river, has boardwalks over ponds that are good for birdwatching, and Lake Olmstead and the Augusta Canal are just across the bridge.
North Augusta is the home of the Arts and Heritage Center, which shows local history and art in the municipal center. Across the river, Augusta offers the Riverwalk, the historic Augusta Canal with boat tours, the Morris Museum of Art and downtown's Broad Street, while Aiken's horse country is about 20 minutes east.
A newer mixed-use district on the Savannah River in North Augusta, built around SRP Park with a hotel, apartments, restaurants and bars that come alive on game nights. It connects to the Greeneway trail and the waterfront. Come early before a ballgame for dinner on a patio, and use the public garages nearby.
Opened in 2018, SRP Park is home of the Augusta GreenJackets, a minor league affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and sits right by the Savannah River in Riverside Village. Seats are close to the field and tickets are inexpensive. Fireworks nights and promotions sell out, so buy ahead and arrive early to walk the concourse.
Housed in the North Augusta Municipal Center on Georgia Avenue, the Arts and Heritage Center shows rotating exhibits by regional artists alongside displays on the town's history, from its founding in the 1900s to its riverside growth. Hours are limited, so check before visiting, and combine it with nearby downtown.
A paved multi-use trail of more than seven miles that winds through North Augusta along old railroad corridors, wooded creeks and the Savannah River, linking neighborhoods, parks and the riverfront. It is popular with walkers, runners and cyclists. Start near Brick Pond Park or the riverfront for the most scenic stretches.
A wetland park near the riverfront where boardwalks and paths circle a series of ponds that also clean the town's stormwater. Turtles, herons, egrets and dragonflies are easy to spot, and benches invite a slow pace. It links to the Greeneway trail. Early morning and late afternoon bring the most birdlife and cooler air.
North Augusta's riverfront looks across the Savannah River to downtown Augusta, with walking paths, river overlooks and access for kayaks and small boats. The river marks the line between South Carolina and Georgia. Evening walks bring sunset light on the water; paddlers should check river levels and dam releases first.
A grand white Neoclassical mansion on West Avenue built in the 1890s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with tall columns, wraparound porches and gardens from the town's early resort era. Today it is used mainly for weddings and private events, so the best view for most visitors is from the street.
A neighbor of Lookaway Hall in the West Avenue area, Rosemary Hall is a columned early 1900s mansion from North Augusta's resort era, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It hosts weddings and events, so interior visits depend on bookings. Walk West Avenue to see both halls and other historic homes nearby.
A volunteer-run park in North Augusta that recreates life in the colonial South Carolina backcountry, with period cabins, a blacksmith shop and craft demonstrations by costumed interpreters. Its big annual event, Colonial Times: A Day to Remember, fills the grounds each October. Check the schedule for open days and events.
