Oostanaula River: GA 225 to Rome - Rome Georgia Water Trails

The name Oostanaula is a derivation of the Cherokee phrase for “Shoal River.” The inspiration behind the name is a mystery, since the gradient of the stream averages less than 1 foot per mile. There are occasionally ripples, but rapids are nonexistent as the river loops lazily across Gordon and Floyd Counties on its way to Rome, where it combines with the Etowah to form the Coosa River. Less than 50 miles in length, the Oostanaula is formed by the union of the Coosawattee and Conasauga rivers.
