A Happier Story From Citico Creek
The News Sentinel reports this morning that the United States Forest Service offers a program in the Cherokee National Forest on Citico Creek that teaches children to snorkel so that they can observe the abundant life in the river. A similar program has been available on the Conasauga River on the southern end of the National Forest since 2000.
The program at Citico Creek offers the opportunity to see three rare fish, the eponymous Citico Darter, and the Smoky Madtom and Yellowfin Madtom. Of course, if you don't want to drive to Monroe County to look for these fish, then you can drive up to Abrams Creek here in Blount County to see them.
