River Summary: The Oconee River is a 220-mile long river located in the southeastern United States. It originates in northeast Georgia and flows through Georgia and South Carolina before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The Oconee River has played an important role in the history of Georgia, serving as a transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers. Today, the river is used for hydroelectric power generation, with multiple reservoirs and dams along its length, including Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair. These reservoirs provide recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. The Oconee River also supports agricultural uses, such as irrigation and crop production.
