No site in VDWR's access file falls on Reed Creek, and no public block fronts it either — the way in is a road crossing, or asking the owner. The nearest town we map is Roanoke, 32.8 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-east of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Roanoke | 32.8 mi | north-east |
| Waynesboro | 48.4 mi | south-west |
Straight-line distance from the river's midpoint, and the direction you would travel from the town to reach it. The roads are not mapped here, so there is no drive time — a travel time nobody measured is the kind of number that gets somebody lost.
