Duck River (New South Wales)
The Duck River is a perennial stream and southern tributary of the Parramatta River, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. History The Darug people of the Burramattagal clan were the original inhabitants of the land at the head of the Parramatta River. The southern riverbank was a vital source of their food and living resources. In their seasonal rotation of campsites around their territory, the clan would have found that the abundant fish, shellfish, birds, reptiles and marsupials contributed greatly to their daily quest for food. The agreed boundary between the Burramattagal country and their neighbours, the Wategora clan, is believed to have been the Duck River. On 22 April 1788 Governor Arthur Phillip and his party of officers and marines journeyed inland by boat from Sydney Cove to find better farmlands for the new settlement. At the head of the navigable river they landed on the shore near Clyde of what he named ''Duck River'' due to the abundance of ducks in the area ...

Duck River (Minganie)
The rivière Duck (''English: Duck River'') is a watercourse that crosses the municipality of Rivière-au-Tonnerre, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in province of Quebec, in Canada. The southern part of the hydrographic slope of the Duck River is served by the route 138 which runs along the north shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The forest road R0902 (going up towards the North-West) serves the eastern part of this slope going up this valley; then the western part of the upper part. Geography The course of the Duck River generally descends to the south, between the rivière à Jim-Hearst (located to the west) and the rivière au Tonnerre (located at the east). The Duck River originates from a lake (length: ; altitude: ). This source is located in a forest area at: * southwest of the course of the Tonnerre river; * northwest of the mouth of the Duck River; * north-west of the center of the village of rivi ...

Duck River (Tennessee)
The Duck River, long,U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline dataThe National Map , accessed June 8, 2011 is the longest river located entirely within the U.S. state of Tennessee. Free flowing for most of its length, the Duck River is home to over 50 species of freshwater mussels and 151 species of fish, making it the most biologically diverse river in North America. The Duck River drains a significant portion of Middle Tennessee. It rises in hills near an area of Middle Tennessee known as the "Barrens", an area with enough rainfall to support a woodland but which white settlers found already deforested upon their arrival. (Several theories have been advanced to explain this phenomenon.) It enters the city of Manchester and meets its confluence with a major tributary, the Little Duck River, at Old Stone Fort State Park, named after an ancient Native American structure between the two rivers believed to be nearly 2,000 years old.

Little Duck River
The Little Duck River is a U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline dataThe National Map, accessed June 8, 2011 tributary of the Duck River of Tennessee in the United States. Via the Duck, Tennessee, and Ohio rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed. It rises in a poorly drained, swampy area southeast of Manchester, Tennessee and winds through the town. Its significance is primarily in its spectacular confluence with the main Duck River, just northwest of downtown Manchester in Old Stone Fort State Park. Both streams descend over a series of dramatic cascades just prior to the confluence, which occurs at the base of a table land which they surround on three sides. The perimeter of this table land is surrounded by a low stone wall generally in height.
