BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to the South Branch Potomac River, West Virginia
No site in WV DEP's access file falls on the South Branch Potomac River, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 2 blocks of public land front the South Branch Potomac River, and 24.6 of its 14.1 mapped miles run through them. The nearest town we map is Waynesboro, 58.0 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-west of the town.
Nearest towns
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Waynesboro | 58.0 mi | north-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
- Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area — designation overlay, 13.15 mi of this river, 99,832 acres in all
- Monongahela National Forest — U.S. Forest Service, 11.5 mi of this river, 949,934 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.
