Muckalee Creek

Muckalee Creek (pronounced MUHK-uh-lee) is a creek in southwest Georgia (U.S. state).[1] It originates southeast of Buena Vista and flows south-southeast for 76.3 miles (122.8 km)[2] and into Kinchafoonee Creek north of Albany, just upstream of that creek's confluence with the Flint River.

Muckalee is a name derived from the Creek language.[3] It is also the subject of a country song by Luke Bryan titled "Muckalee Creek Water".
