Mill Creek (South Branch Potomac River tributary)

Mill Creek flows into the South Branch west of Romney Bridge near Vanderlip along the Northwestern Turnpike (U.S. Route 50).

The wider stream makes a ninety degree turn in front of The Burg and enters Mechanicsburg Gap through Mill Creek Mountain.

Mechanicsburg Gap is notable because of its many springs and the natural gateway it created for pioneers and settlers heading further west during the mid-18th century.

The stream is stocked once in February and once every two weeks from March through May by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
