The Kolomoki Mounds, now protected in the Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park near present-day Blakely in Early County in southwest Georgia, were built from 350 AD to 650 AD and constitute the largest mound complex in the state. The vicinity of the Chattahoochee River was inhabited in prehistoric times by indigenous peoples since at least 1000 BC. At the mouth of the Chattahoochee-Flint-Apalachicola River system, in the Apalachicola River delta, the geologic history of the delta can be traced at least as far back as the Miocene. North of the Fall Line, in the Piedmont of Georgia and Alabama, the course of the Chattahoochee River cuts across prominent, resistant rock layers, including the Hollis Quartzite of the Pine Mountain belt, and must have established its current course prior to uplift of those units. Younger rocks of the overlying Eutaw Formation record an estuarine environment in approximately the same location, suggesting a persistent paleodrainage system in the vicinity of the modern Chattahoochee for at least 10-20 million years during the Late Cretaceous. A Late Cretaceous system of paleovalleys incised into the Coastal Plain unconformity in the vicinity of Columbus, Georgia is infilled with fluvial sands and gravels of the lower Tuscaloosa Formation. The current course of the Chattahoochee River has a geologic history that extends back in time at least 100 million years. Much of that segment of the river runs through the Brevard fault zone. This possibly refers to the many colorful granite outcroppings along the northeast-to-southwest segment of the river.

The name Chattahoochee is thought to come from a Muskogee word meaning "rocks-marked" (or "painted"), from chato ("rock") plus huchi ("marked"). Although the same river, this portion was given a different name by separated settlers in different regions during the colonial times. From there, the same river is then named Apalachicola River, which ends (160 miles away) in the city of Apalachicola, FL (meaning both rivers end in the city named after them). The Chattahoochee River ends in the city of Chattahoochee, FL. Farther south, it merges with the Flint River and other tributaries at Lake Seminole near Bainbridge, to form the Apalachicola River that flows into the Florida Panhandle. At Columbus, it crosses the Fall Line of the eastern United States.įrom Lake Oliver to Fort Benning, the Chattahoochee Riverwalk provides cycling, rollerblading, and walking along 15 miles (24 km) of the river's banks.

Flowing through a series of reservoirs and artificial lakes, it flows by Columbus, the third-largest city in Georgia, and the Fort Benning Army base. It eventually turns due-south to form the southern half of the Georgia/Alabama state line. The Chattahoochee's source and upper course lie within Chattahoochee National Forest.įrom its source in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Chattahoochee River flows southwesterly to Atlanta and through its suburbs. The Appalachian Trail crosses the river's uppermost headwaters. The headwaters of the river flow south from ridges that form the Tennessee Valley Divide. The source of the Chattahoochee River is located in Jacks Gap at the southeastern foot of Jacks Knob, in the very southeastern corner of Union County, in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, a subrange of the Appalachian Mountains.

The City hosted a Open House meeting at Sertoma Arts Center on Jto gather input and feedback.Visitors putting their rafts, canoes and kayaks in the Chattahoochee River This project is being coordinated with a Raleigh Water projectthat includes sewer improvements along this section of Mine Creek. Click here for a project location map for all proposed improvements and click here for a map that shows a more detailed area of the realignment of the trail and location of structures #32 and #33 south of Shelley Lake. A greenway easement will need to be acquired as part of this process. In addition, a decorative barrier fence is proposed along the proposed trail in this location. At this location, the trail is proposed to be realigned to the northwest side of Mine Creek and in alignment with the existing sewer easement. Improvements south of Shelley Lake include the removal of two existing wooden trail structures (#32 and #33) and the realignment of the existing trail. At Shelley Lake, the improvements proposed include repairs to trail structure #17 and the replacement of trail structure #19. Improvements to a section of the Mine Creek Greenway Trail are proposed at Shelley Lake and south of Shelley Lake.
