Abstract Methane (CH4) emitted from river networks provides a globally significant, yet poorly constrained barrier for the refinement of national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and the global CH4 budget. This study employed three isotopic methodologies, i.e., a simple mixing model, apparent fractionation factor, and dual isotopes (δ13C−CH4 and δD−CH4) to identify the biogenic CH4 production pathway (BMPP) in a typical agricultural river network in subtropical China. The results indicated that the contribution of acetoclastic methanogenesis (AM) to BMPP in the Tuojia River network (TRN) ranged from 85 to 99%, with the first reach (S1) supporting the most biogenic CH4 production. Furthermore, the αC value ranged from 1.00 to 1.039 and increased spatially over the four reaches (S1 to S4), while the αD value varied from 1.393 to 1.394, with S1 having the lowest value. The dual isotopes of δ13C and δD reflected a mixed BMPP. Clearly, the isotopic composition of CH4 corroborated the predominance of AM in the BMPP in the TRN. Additionally, there was a remarkable spatiotemporal variation in δ13C−CH4 and δD−CH4, as well as αC and αD. In combination with the correlation between the two paired isotopic signatures (antipathetic and positive, p
