The Savannah River forms most of the border between the states of Georgia and South Carolina. The northern part of the border is created by two tributaries, the Tugaloo River and the Chattooga River. The Savannah River is approximately 301 miles long and its' drainage basis reaches into the southeastern side of the Appalachian Mountains slightly inside the state of North Carolina.It was originally formed by the confluence of the Seneca River and the Tugaloo River but in modern times this confluence is submerged beneath Lake Hartwell.
