About the chickahominy river
The Chickahominy River is a 87.9-mile-long tributary of the James River in eastern Virginia. It was a significant transportation route for the area's Native American tribes and was later used by the colonists for trade and agriculture. Today, the river is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The Chickahominy River is fed by several smaller streams and is impounded by two reservoirs: the Chickahominy Lake and the Diascund Reservoir. The river's hydrology has been affected by agriculture and urbanization, leading to water quality issues. The Chickahominy River is also used for agricultural purposes such as irrigation and livestock watering. Overall, the river remains an important part of Virginia's history and economy.
