The Waccamaw River originates at Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, and flows southwest, paralleling the coastline about 15 miles inland. In the 19th century, the lower Waccamaw River was used for rice cultivation, primarily farmed by enslaved people. Today, the Nature Conservancy has acquired parts of the river's habitat for conservation and preservation to protect the unique ecosystems thriving here.
