The Chattahoochee River and its
valley is a place rich in natural and cultural resources.
Sometimes the river is clear, cold, and slow-moving, while
at other times it is a muddy torrent, plunging through rocky
shoals. The valley contains a rich, diverse mix of plants
and animals that represent an environment much larger than
itself. For centuries, humans have been drawn to this river
valley for life’s basics: food, water, and shelter as well
as transportation and power to support the increasing
numbers of mills and factories.
