Tuckahoe River (New Jersey)

Tuckahoe River (New Jersey)

The Tuckahoe River is a short river, approximately 25 mi (40 km) long, in southern New Jersey in the United States. The river drains an area of the southern Pinelands and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

It rises in central Atlantic County, approximately 5 mi (8 km) east of Vineland and flows south, then east, forming part of the boundary between Atlantic and Cape May counties, then past Tuckahoe, where it becomes navigable. It flows into Great Egg Harbor just south of the mouth of the Great Egg Harbor River, approximately 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Atlantic City. The lower 4 mi (6 km) form a widening estuary through Great Cedar Swamp downstream from its head of navigation at Tuckahoe.
