The Conecuh River rises near Union Springs, Alabama and flows 198 miles in a general southwesterly direction into Florida near the town of Century. The Conecuh is dammed at two points in Covington County: at the Gantt Dam and at the Point A Dam. The river's name changes from the Conecuh to the Escambia at the junction of Escambia Creek, 1.2 miles downstream from the Florida-Alabama line. After this point, the Escambia River flows 60 miles south to Escambia Bay, an arm of Pensacola Bay.
