Savannah–Ogeechee Canal, Historic waterway in Savannah, United States.
The Savannah-Ogeechee Canal extends 16.5 miles through Georgia wetlands, connecting the Savannah River to the Ogeechee River with a series of locks.
Construction of the canal began in 1824 and reached completion in 1830, operating successfully between 1840 and 1860 for transporting cotton, rice, and lumber.
The Savannah-Ogeechee Canal Museum presents exhibits about local archaeology, canal operations, and regional development through guided educational programs.
The canal grounds remain open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with adult admission at $2 and student tickets at $1.
The canal system features six intact locks, including two tidal locks at each river terminus, demonstrating 19th-century engineering techniques.
