Description:
Referred to locally as the Greeneway, this trail meanders more than five miles through the riverfront community of North Augusta, from The River Golf Club on the Savannah through residential neighborhoods and wooded alcoves to its western terminus at Pisgah Road. Despite the dense suburban setting, a careful trail design engenders a surprisingly natural environment.
Buffering much of the route is a 100-foot-wide, wooded right-of-way that provides habitat for native birds. Trees hide more developed sections of the trail, while tunnels whisk users beneath busy road crossings. Such conscientious environmental planning has earned the Greeneway federal designation as a National Recreation Trail.
Residents use the Greeneway as a travel corridor between surrounding neighborhoods. If you're just visiting, the trail offers a great way to explore the area. Hop on and mingle with locals out for a ride or a stroll. Roll into Hammond Hill skate park, south of the trail on Cypress Drive in Riverview Park, and watch as skateboarders hone their skills. If you're interested in more relaxing pursuits, head to the fishing pier on the Savannah, a short walk from the Riverview trailhead.

A very nice trail

I was in Augusta from out of town on business. I went to the trail yesterday evening, waited until an electrical storm passed by. Started running in a drizzle and off and on heavy rain. The trail was well tended and completely shaded. I started from Riverview Park and ran to the end, which is up a steady grade. The good news is coming back, it was down a steady grade. This facility is a real gem. I runs through well tended, quiet neighborhoods. There were several water fountains along the trail. A very relaxing place and one of the gems of the Augusta area.

I very nice trail biked in early December 2008. There is a fair change in elevation so it would be easier to start at the north trailhead and bike south toward the river if you are only doing one way with a shuttle. When you hit the river and go under the highway there are options to continue biking in both directions. There is also parking. Youker
A very nice trail!

Having recently ridden this greenway for the first time I now understand why it has garnered its status as a National Recreation Trail. My wife and two boys (6 and 2 yo) parked at Riverview Park before we began our exploration. BTW, Riverview Park appears to be a first class facility w/ multiple athletic fields/courts, gymnasium, restrooms/picnic areas and ample parking. Back to the subject of the trail. The trail is a smooth riding piece of art that is easy to follow. There is a slight grade from the Riverview Park to the Pisgah Rd. terminus which was hardly noticeable to me while pulling my 2 yo in his trailer. This area has plenty of shade and the few neighborhoods it passes appear to be quite pleasant. There are water fountains along the route to quench your thirst along w/ some benches to rest your legs if so inclined. If traveling in the opposite direction from Riverview Park you'll find abundant wildlife as you pass by forests and wetlands en route to the Savannah River. This area of the trail is simply beautiful as it passes by the river and the beautiful homes and gardens that surround it. This is a first class trail that is a great place for exercise, sight-seeing or quality time w/ the family. I highly recommend it!
