The Brunswick River[1] is a 6-mile-long (10 km)[2] tidal river in Glynn County, Georgia. It begins at the confluence of the South Brunswick River with the Turtle River southeast of Brunswick[3] and flows east to St. Simons Sound, the strait between Saint Simons Island to the north and Jekyll Island to the south.[4]
The Lanier Bridge crosses the Brunswick River, I-95 and Georgia State Route 303 cross the Turtle River, the Torres Causeway crosses St. Simons Sound, and the Jekyll Island Causeway crosses Jekyll Sound.[citation needed]
