Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALC : Alcovy River
The Alcovy River (pronunciation: al-CO-vee) is a tributary of the Ocmulgee River, about 50 mi (80 km) long, in north-central Georgia in the United States. Via the Ocmulgee River, it is part of the watershed of the Altamaha River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean.
Course
The Alcovy River rises in eastern Gwinnett County, 5 mi (8 km) northeast of Lawrenceville and flows generally south-southeastwardly through Walton, Newton and Jasper Counties. The river is used to define portions of the boundary between Newton and Jasper Counties. It joins the Yellow and South Rivers to form the Ocmulgee River as part of the Lake Jackson reservoir, which is formed by a dam on the Ocmulgee.See also
