Is Public Access to Georgia’s Rivers Disappearing?

Georgia has rivers and streams running from the mountain country of the Southern Appalachians to the Gulf of Mexico, totaling about 70,000 total miles of waterways.  Whitewater and flatwater.  Clear water and Black water.  And a long history of publicly accessible rivers and streams.  That access is being debated by the State of Georgia and bills have been proposed that would curtail access for the public.  We talk with Georgia Rivers to learn more about this topic and about the public meeting and comment process.
