Yesterday, we went to the Aquaduct park around 11am and stayed until about 1:30. If you've never been there, it's a wonderful place to visit. The water is very cold, like in the mountains, and there is a small waterfall on one side that trickles down into a big pool. There is usually more water than this coming down it, but it varies.On the other side of the pool, there is a sliding rock of sorts. The only thing is, the amount of water coming down can change at any time. In this picture
, you can see that there is a rather strong flow of water. It certainly doesn't stop people from sliding, but I'm not as adventurous as some.Off to the right of the sliding rock is a train trestle that goes over the water as it flows away from the aquaduct. While we were there, two trains went by, and the conductors both waived and honked at us. The kids loved it!
We had a great time there, and definitely plan to go back. I think it's our new favorite place here in Augusta.
FYI: If you plan to go, where shoes that can be worn in the water. Those rocks are slick!

Becky: where is this? It looks so cool!
Rachel, It's downtown. Do you know where the Augusta Millworks is? If you follow the road at the millworks, it leads down to it. We go there fairly often if you would like to join us. I think we might go this weekend. Give me a buzz and I'll give you directions.
