Beginning in Union County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northeast Georgia, 200 feet from the Appalachian Trail, the Chattahoochee flows 430 miles through Georgia,including the portion of the river that forms George (Eufaula) Lake. It is joined by the Flint River at Lake Seminole in Southwest Georgia. The Chattahoochee and Flint form the Apalachicola River, which flows 106 miles through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. The largest Georgia cities in the Chattahoochee watershed are Atlanta and Columbus. The Chattahoochee is the primary source of water for over half of Georgia’s population.
