Frequently
asked
questions

Where is Reykjadalsá?

Reykjadalsá is a river in North Iceland, Iceland. Check the map on this page for its course and the nearest access points.

Can you fish in Reykjadalsá?

Fishing any Icelandic river needs a permit sold per river or beat. Salmon rivers book far ahead and can be expensive; trout and char are more accessible. Never fish without a permit, and disinfect gear brought from abroad.

Is Reykjadalsá safe to cross?

If Reykjadalsá is crossed by an unbridged highland ford, treat it with real caution: glacial water is cold, fast, deeper than it looks and higher by afternoon. Cross only with the right 4WD and experience, watch another vehicle first, and if in doubt turn back.

When does Reykjadalsá run highest?

Glacial rivers peak on warm summer afternoons, after rain and during the spring melt. A ford that is passable in the cool morning can be dangerous by late afternoon. Check road.is before highland driving.
