North Esk River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the similarly named river in Scotland, see River Esk, Lothian.

The North Esk River is a river in Tasmania. It is one of the tributaries of the Tamar River together with the South Esk River. It starts in the mountains of the states North East joining with the St Patricks River, flowing through Launceston. Launceston's Old Sea port tourist feature is located on the North Esk River. It isn't really tidal except in the area where it joins the Tamar. The river is sometimes subject to flooding especially in East Launceston suburbs.
