Boat Tour August 22, 2009

The 40-passenger open boats leave the docks at Enterprise Mill for hour-long excursions past 19th Century textile mills and an 18th Century trading post. Then its on past the Lake Olmstead Bulkhead where egrets, gray and green heron along with other fishing birds and wildlife make their appearance. The captain comes about (that means turns around for you landlubbers) at the Augusta Water Pumping Station and heads back as passengers scout for sliding turtles and river otter as their lively tour guide narrates tales of Augusta's past and present.
