	Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area - Areaparks.com
		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.
		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.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Chattahoochee River
		The Chattahoochee River rises high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia and flows southwesterly toward the Alabama state line.
		From there the river tumbles for twenty miles over the fall line—the region of transition between the foothills of the Piedmont and the lower and flatter Coastal Plain.
		Its mills were vitally important to the Confederacy, and defense of the river was crucial, because it represented the easiest route to the fall line mills from the Gulf of Mexico, especially after Union naval forces took possession of Apalachicola in April 1862.

	The Chattahoochee: A River of History
		For centuries the Chattahoochee Valley's native populations relied extensively on river travel in their communications and trade, and to a great degree Columbus owes its existence to the fact that it is located at the head of navigation of the river.
		The Chattahoochee was a significant barrier to east-west travel and trade in the area before the construction of bridges, and prior to the construction of the series of dams along its course frequent flooding posed a serious threat to residential and industrial development along the riverfront.
		Of the river's many roles in the history of this area, perhaps none is as controversial or as damaging as its use as a sewer by the populations it serves.

		The nine dams along the course of the river have destroyed the habitat needed for these species' survival because the impounded areas are not suitable for habitat by organisms that require flowing water and because the cold water releases are not conducive to a diversity of organisms.
		The river serves as a permanent home to creatures that spend nearly all their time in the river's waters and draws in an array of terrestrial animals that visit regularly for a variety of needs including food, shelter, and water.
		River otters are found in wetland habitats in lakes, rivers, and ponds, usually in areas that back up to woodlands or have some dense cover.
