	Coosa River - AL
		One such river is the Coosa, which flows north of Montgomery, directly through the city of Wetumpka.
		The river is relatively wide compared to Western whitewater rivers; therefore there are many combinations of rapids possible simply by favoring either the left or right bank.
		The Coosa is a wonderful whitewater river in the Deep South that is enjoyable for both beginner and advanced paddlers.

	Coosa River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coosa County, Alabama is located on the Coosa River.
		The first river town to form in the Coosa Basin was at the foot of the last water falls on the Coosa River, the Devil’s Staircase, with the town name Wetumpka (or "falling stream") adopted shortly thereafter.
		The Coosa River played an important role into the early 20th century as a commercial waterway for riverboats along the upper section of the river for 200 miles south of Rome.

	RIVERBOATS ON THE COOSA RIVER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The first steamboat to ply the waters of the Coosa River was appropriately named the COOSA On July 4, 1845 that gallant little steamer, Captain James Lafferty commanding, came 'round the bend below what is now Gadsden.
		The most sensational event in the peacetime history of steamboating on the Coosa occurred in the middle 1870's and involved the Magnolia and the Sidney P. Smith.
		Coosa River steamboats were not only a large factor in the building of Rome and Gadsden, but they also added much to the enrichment of the lives of both the young and the old.

	River Basin Center
		A river basin consists of the entire geographic area (hillside, valley, plain) from which water flows into the primary river.
		Rivers not only provide habitat for fish, aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, and terrestrial fauna, but they are used for recreation, water supplies for communities, irrigation for agriculture, and transportation.
		The Coosa River begins in the Blue Ridge Mountains and Tallapoosa River in the Piedmont, and both flow into the Mobile River Basin in Alabama.

	About the Coosa
		The upper Coosa River basin refers to streams that combine to form the Coosa River in Rome, Georgia, including Weiss Reservoir, in Cherokee County, Alabama.
		The Conasauga River headwaters are located in the Blue Ridge province of northern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee, and drain sections of the Chattahoochee (Georgia) and Cherokee (Tennessee) National Forests.
		The Etowah is the largest watershed within the upper Coosa and joins with the Oostanaula River at Rome, Georgia, to form the Coosa River.

	Coosa HYDROLOGIC MODIFICATIONS
		Dramatic changes to the hydrology of the Coosa River began when the 1870 River and Harbor Act provided for a preliminary examination and survey of the navigation potential between Rome, GA and Greensport, AL (near Pell City) a distance of 180 miles.
		The first of the seven dams on the Coosa (Weiss) is 60 miles below Rome and the last one 19 miles above the confluence with the Tallapoosa.
		The Construction of Lay Dam is fairly significant in the history books because it marks the beginning of modern dam construction on the Coosa (a process that would forever change the character of the river) and also served as the maiden venture for the newly formed Alabama Power Company.

	About the Coosa River — CRBI
		For a river basin in a temperate climate, the Coosa River basin has the greatest number of endemic fish species in the world.
		The Coosa River’s fish population is unique in the variety of minnows and darters found in the water of the basin.
		The loss of five species from the Upper Coosa River and the continuing imperilment of other species, indicates that water quality and habitat for these animals and other aquatic species is poor or declining.

	CARIA Goals
		On the Alabama River, an additional economic tool not available on either the Coosa or Tallapoosa is a navigable channel from Mobile to Montgomery.
		The waterway would close due to the continuing buildup of silt on the river bottom, which would not allow barges and tows to traverse certain parts of the Alabama, particularly in the 70-mile stretch between Claiborne Dam and the river's confluence with the Tombigbee.
		While the possibility of securing funding for a commercial navigation channel on the Coosa is extremely remote, CARIA maintains its advocacy for keeping the concept of the Coosa River Navigation Project alive because of the potential of recreational traffic on the Upper Coosa, particularly between Rome and Gadsden.

		Lake Sturgeon Reintroduction to the Coosa River Basin
		The lake sturgeon is a species that is found primarily in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River drainage area but was also found in the Coosa River basin in northwestern Georgia and northeastern Alabama.
		Unfortunately, little was recorded about the Coosa River population of lake sturgeon but they probably did not live as long or get as large as northern fish due to the warmer waters.

		Several of the sturgeon being released are implanted with radio transmitters, allowing scientists to track the fish and determine seasonal movements and identify habitat critical to the survival and growth of the species.
		Considering the longevity of lake sturgeon dams preventing spawning movement, pollution in the Coosa and over-harvest were all likely factors in the disappearance of the Coosa River fish.
		For more information on lake sturgeon and their reintroduction to the Coosa River Basin, visit the WRD website at www.georgiawildlife.com and click on the fishing icon, or contact the Northwest Region Fisheries Management Office at (706) 624-1161.
