Chattooga: The Soul of a River

from The Outfall Podcast · host The Outfall

For nearly a century, the Chattooga River has shaped the lives of the people who ran it, fought for it, and tried to keep it wild. In this episode, Jack Wise, Owner of Wildwater and conservationist Buzz Williams share how a once-secret river exploded after Deliverance, reshaped an entire community, and now faces a quieter kind of pressure. Along the way, we hear about a buried rapid, a new species, and a simple idea of “giving something up” that might decide the river’s future. Visit the Show Notes Here.
