Spring Creek is a tributary of the Little Kanawha River in western West Virginia in the United States.
[6] Spring Creek is formed just south of the city of Spencer in northern Roane County by the confluence of the Left Fork Spring Creek,[1] 8 miles (13 km) long,[6] which rises near the community of Clover and flows northwestward, paralleled for most of its course by West Virginia Route 36; and the Right Fork Spring Creek,[3] 7.8 miles (12.6 km) long,[6] which rises near the community of Speed and flows northward, paralleled for most of its course by U.S. Route 119.
From the confluence of its forks, Spring Creek flows northward through Spencer and northern Roane County into southeastern Wirt County, where it flows into the Little Kanawha River from the south at the community of Sanoma, approximately 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Elizabeth.
[7] The lake was constructed in 1974 and is owned by the city of Spencer; it is operated as a recreation area for boating, fishing, hiking, biking, and camping.
[11] According to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, approximately 79.5% of the Spring Creek watershed is forested, mostly deciduous.
