The South River is a 63.5-mile-long (102.2 km)[1] tributary of the Ocmulgee River in the U.S. state of Georgia. It originates in the city of East Point in Fulton County and eventually flows into Lake Jackson, joining the Yellow River and the Alcovy River to form the Ocmulgee.
The present name "South River" is derived from shortening and alteration of the original name South Branch Ocmulgee River.[2]
