Confirmed from Eisenhower Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean recreation area featuring ball fields and a playground, plus a trail to a waterfall.
What runners say about Eisenhower Park
“The baseball fields are kept in great condition and there is a public restroom at the concession building.”
2025-02: Such a humbling experience to come back here after Hurricane Helene and see the landscape difference in that time, as well as work crews still around as Eisenhower Park has been used for a staging area for incredible amounts of trees/limbs that are still overwhelming the area.
This is the cutest park ever. We just moved into the area, I tried looking online for parks as I haven’t seen one while driving. This one came up on my maps search. When I pulled into the development it was in, I thought maybe it was only for that community and no outsiders, as everyone stared as we were driving in.
Nice place for quick access to the mountain bike trail near the Savannah River Rapids Pavilion. Recent presence of uniformed officers is nice and reassuring to help minimize any vehicle break ins, not that we have seen or heard of any. Usually it is a pretty quiet place with only a handful of people there.
The trails along the Savannah River are amazing. Me and my wife walk them several times a week. We love it and so will you!! I love this precious wife of mine blowing me kisses!!
Trail conditions & character
“Access is a short walk from the parking area to right across from Augusta Water Works between the Augusta Canal and the Savannah River.”
“Also the water station was empty and that kinda sucked.”
“I have a large elderly dog and she was even nervous crossing it.”
“The baseball fields are kept in great condition and there is a public restroom at the concession building.”
“They added new playground equipment a while back, it's very nice and accessible.”

- At the trailheadparking, restrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
