The Tuckahoe River is a short river, approximately 25 mi (40 km) long, in southern New Jersey in the United States. The river drains an area of the southern Pinelands and empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
It rises in central Atlantic County, approximately 5 mi (8 km) east of Vineland and flows south, then east, forming part of the boundary between Atlantic and Cape May counties, then past Tuckahoe, where it becomes navigable. It flows into Great Egg Harbor just south of the mouth of the Great Egg Harbor River, approximately 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Atlantic City. The lower 4 mi (6 km) form a widening estuary through Great Cedar Swamp downstream from its head of navigation at Tuckahoe.
Atlantic County is a county located in the state of NewJersey.
Named as an official district as early as 1693, when the area was known as the province of West Jersey, it was bounded on the north by the Little Egg Harbor River (now known as the Mullica River), and on the south by the Great Egg Harbor River and its southern branch the TuckahoeRiver.
Its eastern boundary was the Atlantic Ocean but the western boundary in the South Jersey interior was not fixed until 1761.
