Hiking

Tribute to Florence Martus, a Savannahian who is perhaps better known in worldwide maritime communities than in her own. From 1887 to 1931, she greeted ships entering Savannah by waving a cloth at approaching ships from the lighthouse on Cockspur Island, in search of her long-lost lover. Her fame spread and ships would return her greetings with a blast from the ship's horn. Many still sound a salute to her statue.

Morrell Park, established in the mid-1960s, is a long, narrow oasis on the eastern edge of River Street and the only park on the Savannah River. It features the famous Waving Girl statue and the Olympic Cauldron monuments. There are benches here under beautiful crepe myrtle trees for shade, making it an ideal spot to stretch and take in the scenery.
