Wankinco River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wankinco River is a river in eastern Massachusetts, and a tributary of the Wareham River which drains into Buzzards Bay.
Although now spelled Wankinco, it was previously written as Wankinquoah, which may derive from Wonqun, crooked.
The Wankinco River originates at East Head Reservoir (Pond) in the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation, and flows southwards through various impoundments and cranberry bogs to join the Agawam River near the center of Wareham, Massachusetts, after which it forms the Wareham River, forming Wareham's main harbor with a depth of about 12 feet. During a portion of its course, it serves as the boundary between Carver and Plymouth, Massachusetts.
