Cedar Creek is a tributary of the Little Kanawha River, 31.7miles long,[3] in central West Virginia in the United States. Via the Little Kanawha and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 81sqmi[4] in a rural region on the unglaciated portion of the Allegheny Plateau.
Cedar Creek rises approximately 1miles west of Flatwoods in Braxton County and flows generally northwestward into Gilmer County, through the unincorporated community of Cedarville and through Cedar Creek State Park. It flows into the Little Kanawha River approximately 5miles west of Glenville.[5]
According to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, approximately 90.5% of the Cedar Creek watershed is forested, mostly deciduous. Approximately 9.2% is used for pasture and agriculture.[4]
The creek was named for the cedar trees along its course.[6]
