The New River watershed is a place where streams and rainfall drain to a common outlet, the New River. This 320 mile river is the main stem of a 7,000 square mile watershed that begins in the western mountains of North Carolina, runs north through Virginia, and then into West Virginia. The National River section of this watershed is only a small portion.
