Phinizy Swamp Nature Park

The 1,100-acre nature park contains extensive wetlands, woodlands, and numerous walking trails where visitors can observe diverse wildlife including herons and alligators.

The swamp bears the name of Victor Francois Phinizy, who established a homestead on this land in 1778, marking the beginning of European settlement in the area.

The Phinizy Center for Water Sciences conducts research programs and educational activities that promote understanding of watershed management and environmental conservation.

The nature park remains open every day from sunrise to sunset, offering free admission, parking facilities, and visitor center services to the public.

The park functions as a natural water filtration system, serving as the final treatment stage for Augusta's wastewater while maintaining a habitat for 240 bird species.
