North River (North Carolina)
The North River is a tidal river, approximately 18 miles (29 km) long, in eastern North Carolina, the United States. It forms the boundary between Currituck and Camden counties.
The river rises in the Great Swamp, 10 miles east of Elizabeth City, North Carolina at the juncture of Indiantown Creek. The river's mouth, where it is approximately four miles wide, is in Albemarle Sound, midway between the mouth of the Pasquotank River to the west and the south end of Currituck Sound to the east. The lower two-thirds of the river is part of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or river:
“A brush had left a crooked stroke
Of what was either cloud or smoke
From north to south across the blue;
A piercing little star was through.”
