The Pea River is a classic coastal river that originates from beaver swamps in southeastern Bullock County in Alabama. It forms from small streams that merge and then serves as the border between Barbour and Pike counties before skimming the northwestern tip of Dale County and cutting across Coffee and Geneva counties. The river ultimately flows into the Choctawhatchee River at the town of Geneva. The Pea River features diverse environments along its course - some sections showcase majestic old growth hardwood trees and deep sandstone banks, while others display evidence of erosion and storm damage resulting in siltation and shallow stretches. This diversity in river characteristics creates varying fishing opportunities throughout its length.
