About the tallulah river
Tallulah River is a 60-mile long river situated in the northeastern part of Georgia, USA. It was named after the Cherokee word for "terrible" or "thundering" due to the river's fast-flowing rapids and waterfalls. The Tallulah River originates in the Blue Ridge Mountains and empties into Lake Tugalo. The river's hydrology is characterized by steep drops, making it a popular spot for whitewater rafting and kayaking. The Tallulah Gorge, a 1,000-foot deep canyon, is a popular tourist destination that offers breathtaking views of the river. The river also features two hydroelectric dams, Tallulah Falls Dam and Burton Dam, which provide electricity to the region. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing and swimming, and for agricultural purposes such as irrigation.
