The Conecuh River (upper portion) and Escambia River (lower portion) are a single 258 mi river in the southern United States, which flows from Alabama through Florida into the Gulf of Mexico. The Conecuh River rises near Union Springs, Alabama and flows 198 mi in a general southwesterly direction into Florida near the town of Century. The Conecuh is dammed at two points in Covington County: at the Gantt Dam (6.57 miles north of Andalusia) and at the Point A Dam (4.23 miles northwest of Andalusia, inside the town limits of River Falls). The river's name changes from the Conecuh to the Escambia at the junction of Escambia Creek, 1.2 mi downstream from the Florida-Alabama line. After this point, the Escambia River flows 60 mi south to Escambia Bay, an arm of Pensacola Bay. The river is dredged in the lower course.
