The river's watershed is dominated by forested areas with some farmland and wetlands. The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Blackwater River, and is impounded by the 4,600-acre Lake Chesdin. The river exhibits seasonal trends with higher flows in the winter and spring due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Interesting facts include the Nottoway being one of the few Virginia rivers that flows eastward and having a Native American origin name meaning "long, dark stream."
