North River (Darien River tributary)

The North River is a small, freshwater stream located in McIntosh County, Georgia, in the United States. It is a tributary of the Darien River, which ultimately flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The river is relatively short, draining a primarily marshland and wooded area. Its water is brackish near its confluence with the Darien River due to tidal influence. The North River contributes to the estuarine ecosystem characteristic of the Georgia coast. Local wildlife includes various species of fish, crustaceans, birds, and reptiles adapted to brackish water environments. Its primary significance is as part of the overall coastal watershed and its role in supporting local ecology.
