Welcome to Hiwassee River Coldwater Alliance
Healthy rivers provide drinking water, flood protection, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, and economic benefits to local communities. They are a vital part of our heritage and are sources of community identity and pride.
-
Protect Our River
Proper flow rates and increased water temperatures are the limiting factors.
-
Protect Our Sport
The Hiwassee river is a trout fisherman’s paradise in the southeast U.S. With minimal changes from TVA it could be a world class destination.
-
Protect Our Businesses
Improvements in coldwater habitat would have a positive impact on the trout fishery and the local businesses that it supports.
