The South River is a tidal estuary, approximately 8 mi long (13 km) long in Carteret County, North Carolina in the United States.
It flows NNE and empties into the estuary of the Neuse River near its entrance into Pamlico Sound. The town of South River sits on western side near its mouth.
Famous quotes containing the words south and/or river:
“To lib and die in Dixie!
Away, away, away down South in Dixie!”

“Ask me no more: thy fate and mine are sealed;
I strove against the stream and all in vain;
Let the great river take me to the main.
No more, dear love, for at a touch I yield;
Ask me no more.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
