Ohoopee River Traditional Cache
zanna: After thinking long and hard on what to do with this series, I have come to the decision to archive it. Its had a good run, but just about every season the containers and logs need refreshing and it's not convenient to anything in my life.
Hopefully someone will do something great with all this new real estate!

Take a hike along the newly opened section of the South River Trail and learn a bit about Georgia's rivers!
This series will provide some great one on one time with nature as you learn about the many rivers throughout the state. Rivers have always played a vital role in the history and development of Georgia, and continue today to be major sources of drinking water, navigation, and recreation.
The Georgia River series is not a P&G series. Almost all of the caches are along a paved PATH trail that can be accessed by walking, running, or biking. There are a few different points that you can jump on the trail, but we recommend parking at the Gresham Park Recreation Center at the corner of Gresham Rd and Clifton Church Rd.
The South River Trail is still expanding with plans to connect to the Atlanta BeltLine to the west and Panola Mountain State Park to the east.
The Ohoopee River is a 119-mile-long (192 km) river in east-central Georgia in the United States. It is a tributary of the Altamaha River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean.
The Ohoopee River rises in Washington County, about 2 miles (3 km) south of Tennille, and flows generally southeastwardly, through or along the boundaries of Johnson, Emanuel, Treutlen, Candler, Toombs and Tattnall Counties. It joins the Altamaha River 13 miles (21 km) south of Reidsville. In Emanuel County, it collects the Little Ohoopee River, about 54 miles (87 km) long, which rises in Washington County and flows generally southeastwardly through Johnson and Emanuel Counties, past Kite.
The Ohoopee River is referenced in Larry Jon Wilson's song, "Ohoopee River Bottomland", which appears on Wilson's 1975 album, New Beginnings. Wilson also sings the song in the 1980 documentary, Heartworn Highways. Wilson was born in Swainsboro, just north of the Ohoopee River. The Ohoopee River is becoming known for The Hoopee Jam music festival. The Hoopee Jam is a weekend of camping and great music from some of the best artists in music today. The Jam is held on a private farm in Norristown, Georgia in May. Along with the wonderful music, attendees are exposed to the natural beauty of the Ohoopee Dunes area.
