Flint Riverkeeper® (FRk) was established in 2008 to address the various issues that threaten the Flint River and its tributaries. We work to restore and protect the quality and flow of this immensely valuable resource. The Flint River and associated aquifers provide water for drinking, swimming, fishing, commercial, industrial and agricultural pursuits for more than one-million people. FRk works within the entire Flint watershed, comprising much of West and South Georgia.
Beginning as springs in East Point, the river flows under Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport, mingles with major tributaries in Coweta and Fayette counties and then flows over 340 miles to the Georgia and Florida State borders. There it pairs with the Chattahoochee River at Lake Seminole to form the Apalachicola River. The drainage basin is over 8,000 square miles and traverses the Piedmont region’s granite shoals until it reaches the Fall Line, where it gradually gives way to sandy banks and ancient limestone caverns.
