About the River Afon Prysor
The Afon Prysor is the largest tributary of the River Dwyryd in Gwynedd. It rises towards Arenig, in Llyn Cwm Prysor, and flows west down Cwm Prysor and past the southern end of Trawsfynydd into the reservoir of Llyn Trawsfynydd. Before the dam was built in the 1920s the river wandered across a broad upland marsh known as Cors Goch.
Below the dam the Afon Prysor runs down the steeply wooded valley of Ceunant Llennyrch, the core of a national nature reserve, and meets the Dwyryd in its tidal section downstream of Maentwrog. Most of the reservoir’s flow goes through the hydro-electric power station near Maentwrog and rejoins the river just before that confluence.
It is a small river with some good pools and glides, and trees overhang much of it. It holds brown trout.
