Ocmulgee River

The Ocmulgee River originates at the confluence of the South River, Yellow River, and Alcovy River at Lake Jackson along the Butts/Jasper County border. From Lake Jackson the Ocmulgee River flows southward, then eastward, for approximately 255 miles. Along the Montgomery/Jeff Davis/Wheeler County border, the Ocmulgee River merges with the Oconee River to form Georgia's largest river - the Altamaha River - which flows eastward to empty into the Atlantic Ocean.
