The Chattahoochee River begins in northeastern Georgia and winds its way through Atlanta’s western suburbs before merging with the Flint River to form Florida’s Apalachicola River. Its name, meaning “painted rock,” comes from the Cherokee language. The river is central to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, established in 1978. Further south, it flows through Lake Eufaula, part of a protected wildlife refuge known for its birdlife, located on the border of Georgia and Alabama.
