Actually, the Coosa and the Tallapoosa are two separate rivers. Both originate in the State of Georgia, wind their way into eastern Alabama, and converge between Wetumpka and Montgomery to form the Alabama River. The Coosa has six dams in Alabama, forming Lakes Jordan, Mitchell, Lay, Logan-Martin, Neely-Henry, and Weiss. The Tallapoosa has four dams in Alabama, forming Lakes Thurlow, Yates, Martin and Harris. Great fishing, water sports and scenery!

Thanks for remembering Auburn University - another treasure found in East Alabama!

Thank you for the clarification. I just love the names of those rivers! So much of what I have learned about this area of the country has caused me to want to visit real soon, so I can see for myself. Although, from what I hear, if I were to visit, it is likely that I would never leave. :-)
