Cohansey River

It drains approximately 108 square miles (280 km2) of rural agricultural and forested lowlands on the north shore of Delaware Bay.

The river widens into a tidal estuary, approximately 10 miles (16 km) long, that flows south, then west, entering Cohansey Cove on Delaware Bay, approximately 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Bridgeton.

This is from the 39th edition and may be out of data, so please do not use this for navigation: Cohansey River, which empties into the northeast side of Delaware Bay 31 miles northwestward of Cape May Light, is used mostly by pleasure craft, although some petroleum is transported to Bridgeton.

Cohansey Light (39°20'30"N., 75°21'41"W.), 42 feet above the water, is shown from a black skeleton tower with a white daymark on the south side near the natural entrance.

Local knowledge is advised when using this approach and in the dredged channel in the upper part of the river off Bridgeton.
