Coosa River

River in northwestern Georgia and east-central Alabama, one of the headwaters of the Alabama River. It flows west for a distance of 460 km/286 mi before joining with the Tallapoosa River northeast of Montgomery to form the Alabama River.

The Coosa River is formed by the confluence of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers at Rome, Georgia, and flows west into Alabama. The Weiss Dam, near Leesburg, forms Weiss Lake, which backs up into Georgia. The Coosa winds southwest from the lake through Gadsden, and then runs south-southwest through a series of dam-created lakes until it joins the Tallapoosa. A system of locks built with the dams makes the river navigable all the way up to Rome.
