Seneca Creek drains the highest peak in West Virginia — Spruce Knob — in the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. The creek flows 14 miles through hemlock and spruce forest at over 4,000 feet elevation, supporting one of the southernmost populations of native eastern brook trout. The Seneca Creek Backcountry Trail follows the creek for most of its length, opening one of the wildest and least-developed brook trout strongholds in the southern Appalachians.
