Doyles River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Doyles River is a short tributary of the Moormans River in central Virginia in the United States. Via the Moormans, Rivanna and James Rivers, it is part of the watershed of Chesapeake Bay.

According to the Geographic Names Information System, the river has also been known as the Doyle River. The United States Board on Geographic Names settled on "Doyles River" as the stream's official name in 1933.
