Join Georgia Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign on a beautiful 10-mile jaunt down the Etowah River outside Euharlee Georgia on arguably the most scenic stretch of the Etowah in Bartow County. This stretch of river features numerous Native American fish weirs, the Island Ford island complex, a beautiful *rock garden*, and has had numerous Otter and Bald Eagles sitings. This section is also highlighted by a large threat to Georgias precious water resources: one of the largest carbon polluting coal-fired power plants in the country, Plant Bowen. We will spend the early morning examining the threat of archaic coal-power to Georgias beautiful fresh waters, and the afternoon exploring the scenic natural wild river.
