Paw Paw Creek

Paw Paw Creek

"Paw Paw Creek" is a tributary of the Monongahela River located in West Virginia in the United States. The headwaters of the creek begin in Monongalia County, north of Fairview, and empty into the river in Rivesville, coursing approximately 11 miles through the Marion County towns of Fairview, Grays Flat, Grant Town, Baxter, and Rivesville. The stream has a number of tributaries ("runs" or "licks"), including the Bennefield Prong, Ann's Run, Robinson Run, Panther Lick, Tarney Run, Little Paw Paw, and Woods Run, that empty into the creek along its course.

The stream is named for the Pawpaw tree, a fruit-bearing tree common to the eastern United States, which grows along the banks.
