Erinle River

The Erinle River (listen) is a river in the ancient town of Ido-Osun, Egbedore Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria, a right tributary of the Osun River, which it enters from the north near Ido-Osun, just below the Erinle Dam. Another reservoir, the new Erinle Dam, lies higher up the river. Water from the two dams supplies Osogbo, the state capital. A few meters away from the river lies the M.K.O. Abiola International Airport, Ido-Osun and also the defunct Electricity Cooperation of Nigeria, Erinle Power Station in Ido-Osun, Osun state.
