Hörgá River is a river or watercourse in Northeast Iceland and an important part of the regional landscape. Icelandic rivers are shaped by rainfall, snowmelt and, in many areas, glaciers, so water levels and conditions can change considerably with season and weather.

Nearby places include Svalbarðseyri and Möðruvalla Church. Take care around riverbanks and gorges, especially during snowmelt or heavy rain when water levels may rise quickly.

Fishing

Hörgá flows through Hörgárdalur and into Eyjafjörður.
