Developers have announced plans for shopping, dining and other amenities. The Riverwalk Marina is just a short two miles up the road for travelers with boats and other water sport interests.

  Few hotels pepper the landscape between downtown Augusta and the area around Augusta National known as National Hills. This residential area of Augusta gets the most traffic during the week of Masters, owing to its location just across Washington Road. Just a few minutes drive further up Washington Road provides numerous choices for accommodations. These hotels are farther from downtown, but still easily accessible from Riverwatch Parkway, Washington Road/Calhoun Expressway, and I20.
