River Summary: The Ocmulgee River is a 255-mile-long river that runs through central Georgia. It has played a significant role in the region's history, serving as a major transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers. The river's hydrology is largely influenced by rainfall and agricultural runoff. Several reservoirs and dams have been built along the river, including the Jackson Lake Dam and the Lake Sinclair Dam, which are used for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The Ocmulgee River also provides water for agriculture, particularly for the production of cotton and peanuts. The river is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. It is also home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, including several threatened and endangered species.
