The River Mawddach (in Welsh, Afon Mawddach) is a river in North Wales which has its source in a wide area north of Dduallt in Snowdonia.
Despite this, the river sustains an important salmon and trout fishery and the countryside through which it flows is some of the most spectacular and scenic in the UK.
The southern bank of the Mawddach estuary, along which used to run a section of the GWR branch line from Ruabon to Barmouth, has now been designated the Mawddach Trail, an 8 mile cycle path running from Dolgellau to Morfa Mawddach, at the south side of the Barmouth railway bridge.

 Mawddach hydrology
Rainfall distribution across the Mawddach catchment recorded at 22 raingauges does not correlate well with ground elevation, suggesting instead that maximum precipitation is generated at valley heads where maximum uplift occurs.
It is suggested that air masses approaching from the west are deflected around the mountain mass of the Rhinogs and funnelled along the estuaries of the Dwyryd at Porthmadog in the north, and the Mawddach at Dolgellau in the south.
During dry periods, changes in river temperature are reflected about 6 hours later by similar changes in the deep gravel temperature, suggesting slow downward movement of water through the river bed gravels and into underlying bedrock fractures (figure 8(a)).

 Mawddach Valley Fishing
The Mawddach rises to the north of the Rhobell Fawr Mountain and flows through Ganllwyd, Llanelltyd and Penmaenpool and on through its long estuary to the sea at Barmouth.
On the Mawddach, as with most other rivers in Gwynedd, there is a marked contrast between the upper reaches - steep and rocky, requiring great care in wet weather - and the gentler lower reaches, some of them quite short, where the course meanders through meadows or woodland.
Apart from some early season olives and the ubiquitous iron blue and blue-winged olive, it is to the sedge flies, stoneflies and, in particular, terrestrial insects that river trout fishers should turn their attention on the Gwynedd rivers, and the Mawddach is no exception.

For some time the upper reaches of the River Mawddach have suffered from the impact of acid rain and increased metal concentrations.
While the river level is low the lime sand remains trapped in the gravel and will have little effect.
It is hoped that this will improve the water quality sufficiently to allow the upper reaches of the Mawddach to support diverse aquatic life and increase the numbers of fish.
