Memorial Day weekend brought people to the waterways with Petersburg boat rides as well as kayakers and canoers enjoying the Augusta Canal.

Savannah Rapids Kayak held its inaugural CanalFEST canoe and kayak race from the Savannah Rapids Headgates to the Mill Village Trailhead.

And lower on the Canal, a group of people took a tour on a Petersburg boat. To learn more about Petersburg Boat Tours, go here.
