Rockfish River

Rockfish River

The Rockfish River is a tributary of the James River, about 40 mi (65 km) long, in central Virginia in the United States. Via the James River, it is part of the watershed of Chesapeake Bay.

Course

The Rockfish River is formed in Nelson County, Virginia by the confluence of its North and South Forks, both of which rise in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Blue Ridge Parkway. It flows generally southeastwardly through northern Nelson County; in its lower course the river is used to define the boundary between Nelson and Albemarle Counties. It enters the James River from the northwest on the common boundary of the two counties, about 8 mi (13 km) southwest of Scottsville.
