Middle Creek (Opequon Creek tributary)

Middle Creek is a tributary of Opequon Creek, located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and West Virginia, in the United States.

The creek flows generally northward, draining a rural watershed characterized by agricultural land and forested areas. It originates in Frederick County, Virginia, and eventually flows into Opequon Creek in Berkeley County, West Virginia. Middle Creek is part of the Potomac River watershed.

The creek's name reflects its location roughly between other similar streams in the area. It is a relatively small stream, and its water quality is primarily influenced by agricultural runoff and land use practices within its drainage basin. Middle Creek supports a limited variety of aquatic life typical of similar streams in the region.

Efforts have been made to improve water quality in Middle Creek and the broader Opequon Creek watershed through best management practices related to agriculture and stormwater management. These practices aim to reduce sediment and nutrient pollution entering the stream.
