Little Stony Creek (North Fork Shenandoah River tributary)

Little Stony Creek is a 6.8 mile long river in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The headwater of Little Stony Creek is at an altitude of about 3,000 feet, in a ravine between Sugar Knob and Mill Mountain, a few hundred feet from the Virginia-West Virginia border, about three miles northeast of Big Schloss.

At River Mile 1.9, Little Stony Creek is dammed by the West End Reservoir Dam (Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation inventory number 17104 / Army Corps of Engineers National Inventory of Dams ID number VA17104).

Use of the reservoir was discontinued in 1979 and the town now draws its water from the North Fork Shenandoah River.

[4] The river is accessible by the Little Stony Creek Trail, which is part of the Wolf Gap Recreation Area.

A photograph of concrete dam. The dam appears to have been poured in blocks, so the face is rectangular splotches with some blocks different colors than the others. Oozing water and algae highlight the cracks between the blocks. A thin river of white water cascades down the spillway into a pond at the foot of the dam. A valve at the foot of the dam looks like a pagoda. Rocks and debris are accumulated in the foreground. An autumnal hill rises above the reservoir in the background.
