Lewis Creek Watershed 

Within Staunton’s city limits are several streams and creeks, passing through neighborhoods and submerging beneath downtown. Staunton’s largest creek, Lewis Creek, runs through the center of downtown before joining the Middle River, the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, the Potomac River and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. Lewis Creek, and all of the City of Staunton, fall within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The quality and quantity of stormwater runoff flowing off lots, gardens, and yards and into our creeks and streams contributes significantly to the overall health of the region.
