About the conasauga river
The Conasauga River is a 93-mile-long river that runs through Tennessee and Georgia, flowing into the Coosa River. It is a popular destination for fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river has a rich history, with Native American tribes using it as a source of food and transportation for centuries. Today, the Conasauga River is home to several reservoirs, including the Carters Lake and the Blue Ridge Dam, both of which are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These reservoirs provide hydroelectric power and recreational opportunities, including boating and fishing. The river also supports a number of agricultural uses, including irrigation and livestock grazing, and is an important source of drinking water for local communities.
