Most folks in Atlanta think the woods are really like that, she tied into the movie's anniversary to sell the story.

A June 22nd AP story on the anniversary read:

This weekend, communities along the Chattooga are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie's release with the first-ever Chattooga River Festival, even though some locals are unhappy with the idea of reminding the world of the area's connection to the movie.

"It's one of those cases where some good comes out of most everything," said Stan Darnell, chairman of the Rabun County, Ga., board of commissioners. "Certainly a lot of good came out of that, as far as opening up film industry, the kayaking, the camping."

The newspaper here carried a story about stars from the movie meeting at the local Burt Reynolds Museum for a seminar on the film. First I knew (and don't care) that the canoe used is on display there.
