    The Meherrin River originates on the Lunenburg-Mecklenburg County line in Virginia and flows southeasterly through the coastal piedmont into Emporia Reservoir. The reservoir is a source of municipal water for the city of Emporia, VA and it is also available for recreational fishing.
    In 2006, the General Assembly designated 37 miles of the Meherrin River through Brunswick County, from the Lunenburg county line to the Greensville county line, as a State Scenic River. In 2013, the 18-mile stretch shared by Brunswick and Lunenburg county was added. That last designation connected the two separate designated sections.
    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 American Civil War, this section of the river was a significant trading route for Northeastern North Carolina .
    Unlike the Appomattox River, the Meherrin River is outside of the Chesapeake Bay watershed; its water ends up in the Albemarle Sound. The mouth of the Meherrin River is in North Carolina. By the time it reaches the confluence with the Chowan River, elevation has dropped from about 660 feet at Keysville in Charlotte County to sea level.
