Kinchafoonee Creek (pronounced kinch-uh-FOO-nee) is a creek in southwest Georgia. It originates near Buena Vista and flows southeasterly for approximately 75 miles (121 km) and into the Flint River near Albany, Georgia.
“Kinchafoonee” was a Creek Indian word that apparently referred to a mortar or bone device for cracking nuts.
The creek flows through Chattahoochee, Marion, Dougherty, Lee and Webster (formerly Kinchafoonee) Counties.
