Coosa Riverkeeper

The Coosa Valley, rich in aquatic biodiversity and natural beauty, is the one of the most developed rivers in Alabama – The River State. The Coosa River is 280 miles long, with 90% of its length in Alabama. From headwaters in Georgia and Tennessee, the Coosa flows to Alabama where a series of impoundments cover the magnificent shoals that so famously dominated the Coosa in the steamboat era. Those impoundments created six large lakes that are a major part of life on the Coosa and where tens of thousands of people live, fish and swim. The river is the most aquatically biodiverse subwatershed of the Mobile River Basin, which is the fourth largest basin in the country in streamflow. As such, the Coosa River, its lakes, and tributaries deserve protection from a myriad variety of threats which could further degrade its remarkable character. The Coosa River provides recreation, drinking water, and economic benefits in fifteen counties in Alabama. In recent years, local municipalities and counties have noted an increase in tourist expenditures, job growth, and dollars by making the Coosa and its tributaries more accessible and highlighting the impact it has on their communities.
