Pocomoke River
The Pocomoke River stretches approximately 66 miles from southern Delaware through southeastern Maryland in the United States. At its mouth, the river is essentially an arm of the Chesapeake Bay, whereas the upper river flows through a series of relatively inaccessible wetlands called the Great Cypress Swamp, largely populated by Loblolly Pine, Red Maple and Bald Cypress.
