Tano

With a total length of 249 miles, the Tano River ranks sixth among the longest rivers in Ghana (400 kilometers). The river begins in the Ghanaian town of Techiman and goes through the Ehy Lagoon and the Tendo Lagoon. The river then travels through neighboring Côte d'Ivoire, passing through the Aby Lagoon on its way to the Atlantic Ocean's mouth. Only the last few kilometers of the river run along the Ghana-Côte d'Ivoire international land border before entering Côte d'Ivoire for the remainder of its shorter span.

Miss Waldron's Red Colobus (Piliocolobus badius waldronae), a highly endangered primate, is thought to reside in the wild in the woodland around the Tano Rover and the Ehy Lagoon. The highest Akan God, Taakora, resides near the source of the Tano River, according to local indigenous beliefs of the Akan people, who make up the main ethnic group in both Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.

Total length: 249 miles (shared with Ivory Coast)
