Beautiful and historic river with centuries of history! Still a thriving hub of commerce for the Southeastern United states.
Jun 16, 2025 · Google ReviewTh Savannah River, one of Georgia's longest and largest waterways, defines most of the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. The river originates at the confluence of the Seneca and Tugaloo rivers in Hart County in eastern Georgia. The confluence also forms Lake Hartwell, a large reservoir built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The river provides drinking water to two of Georgia's major metropolitan areas, Augusta and Savannah, and assimilates their treated wastewater. It is also a source of drinking water for the cities of Beaufort and Hilton Head in South Carolina and for many smaller municipalities in the basin. On the coast, the Savannah River is the shipping channel for the Port of Savannah, the nation's tenth-busiest port for oceangoing container ships, which is operated by the Georgia Ports Authority. Before emptying into the Atlantic, the Savannah forms a braided network of tidal creeks, salt marshes, and freshwater marshes, much of which constitutes the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, one of Georgia's prime bird-watching spots.

Feb 11, 2026 · Google ReviewBest place to people watch and admire the gigantic freighters plying up the Savannah River. The shops are the typical boring bits of used up tourist junk. Some good restaurants. Don't cone in March. TOO CROWDED!
