Fine Art > Fall 2006: Ohoopee Dunes Wildlife Conservation Area (12)

The Ohoopee River dune system is unique to Georgia. The dunes are large oval structures, believed to have been formed by wind deposition of sand on the eastern and northern banks of rivers in south Georgia during the late Pleistocene Age (20,000 years ago). Several endangered plant and animal species live here, and it was also sacred to the Creek Indians.
