  2. What to do? Let your pup meet new friends at one of Columbia County’s Dog Parks. The Dog Park at Evans Towne Center Park, in the heart of Evans, features agility equipment and separate areas for small and large dogs. Feel free to let your dog explore the rest of the park on leash! The Dog Park at Riverside Park also features separate areas for small and large dogs, but this park gives them a little more room to stretch their legs. Whichever park you choose, you can’t go wrong. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6pBCXtnt8u/
  3. Take your best friend on a paddling adventure as you complete the Serene18 Paddle Trail. Serene18 is a unique opportunity to experience 18 square miles of Georgia’s most serene water trails and uncommon wildlife by paddling Clarks Hill Lake, the Savannah River and the Augusta Canal. Complete a route and have the official passport stamped at one of the approved locations. Once you’ve received all four stamps, you'll get a FREE t-shirt!
