This article is about the northern Withlacoochee River. For the southern river, see Withlacoochee River (Florida).
Withlacoochee River near the confluence with the Suwannee River

The Withlacoochee River originates in Georgia, northwest of Nashville, Georgia. It flows south through Berrien County where it joins the New River and forms part of the boundary between Berrien and Cook counties. It then flows south into Lowndes County, Georgia. At Troupville, Georgia the Little River joins the Withlacoochee River flows continues to flow south and forms part of the boundary between Lowndes and Brooks counties in Georgia. The river then flows into Florida for 1.34 miles before returning into Georgia for an additional 2.44 miles. It then returns to Florida, forming the northeast boundary of Madison County, Florida and the western boundary of Hamilton County, Florida and eventually merges with the Suwannee at Suwannee River State Park west of Live Oak. The river is 115 miles (185 km) long.[1]

Ariver in central Florida is also named the Withlacoochee.

Etymology

[edit]

The Withlacoochee River received its name from the indigenous Muscogee and Seminole people. It comes from the compound Creek word ue-rakkuce [IPA: wiɬakːut͡ʃi], from ue "water", rakko "big", and -uce "small", with the rough translation "little river."[2][3] English speakers then changed the Muskogee voiceless lateral spelled r to "thl".
