The Nottoway River is a scenic 155-mile waterway that flows through south-central and southeastern Virginia before briefly entering North Carolina, where it joins the Blackwater River to form the Chowan River. Designated as a Virginia Scenic River, the Nottoway begins in Prince Edward County and meanders through Virginia's piedmont and coastal plain regions. With minimal development along its course, this river offers a diverse fishery in a serene, natural setting. The river features a variety of environments, from shallow, rocky sections with small rapids in the upper portions to deeper, darker waters flowing through swampy areas in the lower sections. This diversity makes the Nottoway an excellent four-season fishery with opportunities for anglers of all skill levels.
