The South Fork Rivanna River is a tributary of the main Rivanna River in Virginia, flowing through Albemarle County before joining the North Fork to form the main stem of the Rivanna. The South Fork is impounded by the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir (also known as the Rivanna Reservoir), a 450-acre water supply reservoir owned and operated by the City of Charlottesville. The river below the reservoir dam flows approximately 46 miles to its confluence with the James River at Columbia and is designated as part of the Virginia Scenic Rivers System. This scenic waterway offers diverse fishing opportunities in both its reservoir and flowing sections, supporting warm-water species and providing excellent fishing experiences in a beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains setting.
