Jason Benton testified:
This park and huck is located on the Augusta Canal pump station access road on the right just
after you cross the RR tracks. It usually runs when the canal is high. It can often be found
running after heavy rains and on high release weekends on the Savannah.

good level - enough water going to make it a nice, fun run without being scrapy (if it was very
much lower it could be scrapy, though). Higher would be a little better and faster. :-) It's been
running a lot lately. Posted a video of what it looked like, on AW photo page and at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mPsLaD9d9o
lunch and it was a trickle...almost totally dry. Any info as to whether it is only dependent on
rainfall or if there are release times would be great. Email me at 77fj@comcast.net. -Andy Edit
through it. i went expecting to see some small rapids, but instead it couldnt even be compared to
the strength of a fosset on a sink. They need to let more water into that spot for us kayakers. I
need more water!!! email me if you learn something new. jasprice30@gmail.com Edit
of water knocked out some of the smaller natural refuse that could of posed problems. The rocks
still slam you into the river left wall near the bottom, lean in to it slightly or you will end up
scraping the mud with your face. Edit
bottles, the plastic bags, the diapers etc.... So every time you go down there help us keep it
clean and keep it open for the kayakers, climbers, and people hanging around the swimming hole. The
train trussel construction is finished, and they removed some of the shoaled up rocks that lead
down into the Savannah River. The actual overflow itself has seen some build up of refuse, both man
made and natural, and needs to have a few good runs of water before it's runnable. (large logs, mud
stuck truck tires etc...) Edit
isn't worth going. There is some construction on the train trussels that has been going on for a
few months.
