The Conecuh River (upper portion) and Escambia River (lower portion) are a single 258-mile-long (415 km) 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 miles (319 km)[1] in a general southwesterly direction into Florida near the town of Century. The river's name changes from the Conecuh to the Escambia at the junction of Escambia Creek, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) downstream from the Florida-Alabama line. After this point, the Escambia River flows 60 miles (97 km)[1] south to Escambia Bay, an arm of Pensacola Bay.
