Here, a view of the Lynnhaven River, looking west from Great Neck Point. Much of the river bank is residential; wide salt water marshes make up much of the center.

The Lynnhaven River is a tidal estuary located in the independent city of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in the United States, and flows into the Chesapeake Bay west of Cape Henry at Lynnhaven Inlet, beyond which is Lynnhaven Roads. It has a small, developed watershed covering 64 square miles (170 km2), terminating at Lynnhaven Bay. It was once famous along the East Coast of the United States for its oysters, which declined through pollution and runoff. It is now being restored by the Lynnhaven River Now restoration project based out of the Brock Environmental Center.[1] A proposed comprehensive project for ecosystem restoration of the Lynnhaven River Basin is currently[when?] under consideration by the United States Congress.[2]
