River in South Carolina, United States
Black Mingo Creek
Location of the mouth of Black Mingo Creek in South Carolina
Black Mingo Creek is a tributary to the Black River in coastal South Carolina. The creek derives its name from the Mingo, a tribe that once inhabited the fork made by the junction of Indiantown Swamp and Black Mingo Creek.[1][2]
It is a blackwater river: the presence of tannin gives it the color of tea. The river is relatively untouched by modern development, and is mostly surrounded by wetlands of cypress and tupelo with the adjacent higher lands mostly used for conventional agriculture or tree farming. The waters are a favorite fishing site for largemouth bass and panfish. Beavers are abundant, as well as great blue herons, songbirds and crows. Occasionally a bald eagle can be sighted. Alligators are also present.
The creek drains communities around Indiantown, Nesmith, and the communities of Rome and Rose Hill.
