Traversing the fringes of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA), Rottenwood Creek receives an unpleasant amount of trash and runoff from office and retail establishments around Cumberland Mall, before emptying into the Chattahoochee. Recent development has actually improved the environment of this segment of the creek, if you can ignore the sounds of traffic.
