The site features more than five miles of hiking trails that wind by the Ogeechee River, 200 acres of swamp and woodland, and a museum and nature center that feature exhibits on the canal's history, archeology, birding and other local attractions."

The site as a whole comprises a half-mile section of restored canal, with brickwork and locks, and 200 acres of swamp and woodland with several miles of nature trails. Open Wednesday-Sunday, 9am-5pm."
