“In the early 1970’s, with the growth of Metropolitan Atlanta region, the US Army Corp of Engineers proposed the construction of a reservoir with the dam to be located at Sprewell Bluff. After a cost benefit analysis, then Gov. Jimmy Carter personally intervened, blocking the Army COE plans. As a result, the Flint River is one of only 40 rivers in the US that flows unimpeded for more than 200 miles. Today in 2020, ‘the Flint River continues to flow freely through one of the most naturally beautiful and ecologically diverse sections of Georgia.’
