While the brevity of “The River Street Boardwalk” in Savannah, Georgia, doesn’t lend itself well to long runs or walks along the Savannah River, it certainly does provide ample opportunities to “people watch” (or “boat watch”, if that is your preference).
The path is mostly well maintained, nearly entirely flat, and is easily accessible to those with mobility challenges.
When deciding to visit Savannah my initial interest was to explore a cute Southern town along a waterfront. Therefore, the sizes of most of the boats were of no surprise to us, until we noticed a few large cargo ships in the area. We were surprised to learn that a recent deepeening of the Savannah Harbor now better supports the mass export of Georgia-grown and manufactured goods to various international markets. Hopefully Savannah’s civic leaders will prioritize maintaining its Southern charm while in the midst of pursuing their economic goals through the shipping industry.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
