The Savannah River begins in the waters of Hartwell Lake, about seven
miles upstream from the dam, at the confluence of the Tugaloo River from
North Georgia, and the Seneca River from South Carolina. It forms the
state line between the two states. It flows by Augusta, GA, where some
of it is temporarily diverted into the Augusta Canal, on to Savannah,
GA, to empty into the Atlantic Ocean at Tybee Island Sound. While the
river was navigable to Augusta at one time, there is no commercial
traffic that we know of above the Port of Savannah at this time. And
until the fate of the New Savannah Bluff project is determined,
navigation must end there.
