Cue Banjo Music…
The Citizen-Times printed today an article on the Chattooga River. Greg Bluestein, of the Associated Press in Georgia, wrote the story. Whitewater boaters and trout anglers probably already know about the ongoing controversy, but it’s an interesting read for everyone.
Boaters and anglers aren’t the only ones who will enjoy the Chattooga. A series of hiking trails follow the river as it tumbles through the Nantahala, Sumter and Chattahoochee national forests. The route begins by the headwaters near Whiteside Mountain and heads down to Pigpen Falls, passing some cliffs, waterfalls and equally scenic streams along the way.
