The Lofa or Loffa is a river whose headwaters originate in eastern Guinea northeast of Macenta. The river runs southwest through northeastern Liberia before draining into the North Atlantic Ocean.[3] Historically it has also been known as the Little Cape Mount River.[4] The Lawa River enters the Lofa River in Liberia's Lofa County.[3]
Indigenous species include the pygmy hippopotamus.[5] Several diamond mining concessions along the Lofa River were granted in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[6]
