BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to Rich Creek, West Virginia
No site in WV DEP's access file falls on Rich Creek, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 20,176 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Wytheville, 36.4 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-east of the town.
Nearest towns
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Wytheville | 36.4 mi | north-east |
| Roanoke | 46.1 mi | 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.
Public land on the water
- Jefferson National Forest — U.S. Forest Service, 0.03 mi of this river, 20,176 acres in all
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water.
