Paddle Augusta

Today marks Day 2,190. Who would have thought?!?

Over the last six years we've welcomed thousands of paddlers, tied with the alligators for total sunsets watched, this one is our fave… watched over $1.3 MILLION in fireworks explode over the Savannah River, survived 5 major floods, a hurricane, full (non-announced) rebrand (yeah I know) and let’s just say worked through more challenges than the amount of days we’ve been open. Through it all, one thing has never changed: our goal of helping people experience Downtown Augusta from a completely different perspective, THE RIVER!

What started six years ago as a couple kayaks, empty dock and an idea, has grown into something I never could have imagined, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our guests, friends, family, partners, and the community.

Whether you've paddled with us once, come back year after year, shared a post, cheered us on from the riverwalk, or simply followed us for the heck of it, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being our HEROS!

Here's to Day 2,190 and here's to whatever comes at 10AM when we open! BUT HEY! IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT DAY TO PADDLE AUGUSTA!

Now there’s some Red, White and Wild right there! Three local species of wildlife that call the Savannah River home but typically aren’t hanging out together.

Come paddle with us and experience the real wild side of Downtown Augusta!
