The Licking River in Ohio (there is a Licking River that empties into the
Ohio River from Kentucky at
Covington near
Cincinnati) forms in
Newark from the waters of the North and South Forks of the river and Raccoon Creek (which merges with the South Fork just above the main confluence). It then flows east to feed
Dillon Lake before emptying into the
Muskingum River in
Zanesville.
