It's my understanding that the river doesn't actually divide the city of Lynchburg. The river divides Lynchburg from the Amherst County. Madison Heights is on the north side of the river. Is this correct, or are MapQuest and my official Virginia map both lying to me? -- MPD01605 ( T / C) 02:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
It states: "It is the largest river in the United States that remains entirely in a single state.", and in Trivia: "The James River is the longest waterway that is wholly contained in one state (Virginia) in the United States.".
This isn't true: the Trinity and Neches in Texas and the Innoko in Alaska are longer; there may be others, depending on what your definition of "wholly contained" is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaoverland ( talk • contribs) 07:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

This may be true for the US, but not for N. America, as St. John, New Brunswick has Class III rapids part of each tidal cycle within sight of its tall buildings. DLinth 15:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

This page contains no environmental information about the river at all! That is a major deficiency. I was recently in Richmond and saw signs warning people not to eat fish caught in the river do to PCB contamination. Where did that come from? Other signs mentioned the type of fish in the river, particularly the highly endangered (enormous!) Atlantic sturgeon. Still other signs described in detail the process by which sewage is dumped into the river during heavy rains. It would really improve the article if an expert could add something about these or similar things. Echocampfire ( talk) 18:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
OK. I just saw there is a little bit about fish in the recreation section, but I think environmental issues deserve their own section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Echocampfire ( talk • contribs) 18:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
