Cohari

Great Coharie Creek winds south through the sandy coastal plain of North Carolina. A blackwater stream, its dark waters pass among bald cypress and other wetland trees, dividing into winding channels across the soft ground. It rises near the headwaters of Sevenmile Creek and flows toward the Black River, which ultimately joins the Cape Fear. The creek and the surrounding country are part of the homeland of the Coharie people, who share its name.
