The Chattooga River has long been recognized as the crown jewel of southeastern rivers. Because of its inclusion under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, this pristine stream and watershed have been established as a legacy for ourselves and for future generations. If you have hiked, camped, or floated on the river, you already understand its special nature. If you haven"t, there is much to experience. Naturalist and author Butch Clay has spent most of his adult life on or near this unique resource. In this book he details the geology, natural and human history, and the flora and fauna found in the river corridor. Clay reveals significant places, rare and endangered species, and provides a wealth of useful information about hiking, camping and paddling the Chattooga.
