Meherrin River Description

The Meherrin River is a 92-mile (148 km) long[1]river in the U.S. states of Virginia and North Carolina. It begins in central Virginia, about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Emporia, and flows roughly east-southeast into North Carolina, where it joins the larger Chowan River. A twenty foot high dam on the river creates a reservoir in Emporia. For most of its length, the Meherrin is not large enough for commercial traffic. It widens somewhat between Murfreesboro, North Carolina and the Chowan. Prior to the Civil War, this section of the river was a significant trading route for Northeastern North Carolina.
