Fishing, boating,
swimming and hunting are popular activities here. Bass, trout, perch
and other species provide sport for anglers. The Meherrin River flows
southeast from Virginia before it joins the Chowan River. Like the
Roanoke River, the Chowan is a major contributor of fresh water to the
Albemarle Sound.
The Chowan River is about 50 miles long, narrow and energetic in its
northern reaches. Downstream from the Emporia Dam, the Meherrin River
offers a wide variety of fish. You'll find bluegill, white and black
crappie, channel catfish, largemouth bass and occasional smallmouth
bass and walleye. The Roanoke River Basin is also rich in history and
natural beauty. It's a great place to paddle, fish, hunt, camp or just
visit. |
