River Lab at the Ocmulgee

This week for Environmental Science, we ventured off campus to the Ocmulgee River. At the river, we measured the flow rate, elevation patterns, and also attempted to go noodling. The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail (where we completed the lab) is the largest riverside trail and park system in Middle Georgia. The Ocmulgee Trail is important, because it allows the community of Macon to come together and enjoy the fresh air. The trail is a friendly atmosphere where people can walk their pets, bring their children, and just enjoy the river.
