Unlike many other Georgia rivers that begin their journeys to the
sea along the flanks of ridges in the relatively pristine confines
of national forest lands, the Ocmulgee-a name that means "where
water boils up" in Muskogee-rises inside Atlanta's I-285 perimeter
highway as the South River in a jungle of asphalt and concrete. In
fact, its very headwaters are buried beneath a hazardous waste
site. Its other main tributaries-the Yellow and Alcovy-rise in
Atlanta's fast-growing northeast suburbs of Gwinnett County, and
they too have not escaped the impacts of city life. Yet the
Ocmulgee also hosts one hundred species of fish, eighty-five of
which are native to the river, as well as eighteen native
freshwater mussel species, including seven species found nowhere
else on the planet. In the Ocmulgee River User's Guide, both novice
and experienced water sports enthusiasts will fi nd all the
information required to enjoy the full length of the river through
Macon to its confluence with the Altamaha near Lumber City. Author
Joe Cook includes detailed maps, put in and take out suggestions,
fishing and camping locations, mile-by-mile points of interest, and
an illustrated guide to the animals and plants commonly seen in and
around the river. Day-trippers will enjoy the guide's fascinating
description of the cultural and natural heritage of this richly
diverse waterway. FEATURES: An introduction and overview of the
river Chapters describing each river section with detailed maps and
notes on river access and points of interest A compact natural
history guide featuring species of interest Notes on safety and
boating etiquette A fishing primer Notes on organizations working
to protect the river
