Wicomico River (Potomac River)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wicomico River is a 13.0-mile-long (20.9 km)[1] tributary of the lower tidal portion of the Potomac River located in the U.S. state of Maryland south of Washington, DC. The river empties into the Potomac at Cobb Island and St. Margaret's Island. The Wicomico's watershed drains 247 square miles (640 km2) of Charles, St. Mary's, and southern Prince George's counties. The lower section of the river forms part of the boundary between Charles and St. Mary's counties. The Wicomico River was designated a Scenic River under the Maryland Scenic River Act in 1968.
