The Kjarrá–Thervá River, located about 115 kilometers from
Reykjavík in western Iceland, is a 64-kilometer glacial river known for its salmon fishing.
The upper river, closer to the glacier, is Kjarrá; the in-between is Örnólfsdalsá; the lower river, closer to the sea and "below the fence above Örnólfsdal," is Thervá ( ).
Kjarrá is a tributary of the glacial river
Hvítá (), and has tributaries of its own: Litla-Thvera, Krókavatnsá, and Lambá.
The river is part of the
Borgarfjörður ecosystem.
Kjarrá and Thervá each have their own fishing lodge, "limited to seven rods each."
