Review:
Located just a few minutes from downtown Augusta, there is a 1100-acre nature park with 14 miles of hiking and biking trails, boardwalks, observation points, and research stations. Phinizy Swamp Nature Park is a wonderful space to enjoy the beauty of diverse natural habitats of the area and learn about the challenges modern life presents to maintaining the balance of nature. The park is a laboratory for the research conducted by the Phinizy Center for Water Sciences and a home to numerous wild species such as red-shouldered hawk, blue heron, otter, bobcat, alligator, and much more.
Take a stroll through this natural area following a number of trails and boardwalks such as Beaver Dam Trail, Rain Garden Deck & Boardwalk, Floodplain Boardwalk, and the Observation Deck, among others. Listen to the birds, look for alligators, take some magnificent photos, or take one of the free guided tours to learn more about this wonderful green oasis.
