Welcome to Ebenezercreek.com

Thank you for visiting our page! EbenezerCreek.com will soon be the home for all interesting facts and data about the Ebenezer Creek. With help from the GDEcD Tourism Product Development Grant Funds, we have been working to create a database for information on historic events, social gatherings, ecological facts, and cultural significance on this website. Over the next few months we will be adding articles, photo galleries, and expert descriptions of things you will find on the creek. We are working with a team of local naturalists, tour guides and historians to provide a complete guide to Ebenezer Creek!

 

 

As a Georgia Scenic River and National Natural Landmark, Ebenezer Creek is a valuable natural and cultural asset, not only locally, but regionally and to the State of Georgia. The City of Springfield is taking the initiative of working towards the establishment of the Springfield Ebenezer Greenway, connecting downtown Springfield to the Savannah River.  The City will use the Greenway projects and initiatives to promote nature, culture and heritage tourism along Ebenezer Creek. We hope to increase awareness and help promote recreational tourism that will positively affect our community and the surrounding area.

In addition to becoming an online hub of information regarding the treasures to be found on Ebenezer Creek, this site will also host information about access points, guided tours, local lodging, and events. Each year there are multiple events happening in and around the creek that showcase it’s natural beauty and celebrate the surrounding settlements and history. The Georgia Salzburger Society hosts Landing Day each March and the Georgia Conservancy hosts the Annual Ebenezer Paddle each December, to name a few. The New Ebenezer Retreat Center offers cabin accommodations, and is only minutes from Tommy Long Landing, a popular public access point for many tour guides.

 

A partner to this website is the Ebenezer Tour App. Available on Android and Apple devices, this self guided tour app offers geo-referenced data points and will automatically tell you about different elements of the creek as you approach them while on the water.
