Is the Rivanna River safe for swimming, boating, and fishing? Rivanna Conservation Society partners with StreamWatch to provide up to date information on the Rivanna’s water quality at different sites along the river. Visitors to the river can check current bacteria levels on the “Can You Swim Here?” posters on RCA kiosks, located at public access points throughout the watershed. Take a dip in the river with peace of mind about the water quality of your Rivanna.
