Don't forget the Tennessee River. It is the largest, by far, and the most dangerous.

I guess frogs and insects fall off the trees into the water, and fish hang around the branches waiting for food. And, you're right, those things can create a bad under tow, and sweep you right under the tree..I live 7 miles from one of the biggest rivers that runs through Alabama,(The Tallapoosa) and about 25 miles from the other, (The Coosa) and I've heard of a lot of drownings from things like those trees..Or, around here, those bass boats with twin 225 hp Motors, or Fast Jet skis that will do about 70 mph round a bend and don't realize that a huge 100+ long pine tree had JUST fallen in the water.. Don't take them long to turn loose of those boats and/or Jet Skis.. Chuck
