Piss Pot Island, River island in Hampshire County, West Virginia, US.
Piss Pot Island sits within the South Branch Potomac River, surrounded by American sycamores and silver maples along its perimeter.
The island appeared on the first detailed map of Virginia and Maryland created by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson in 1751.
The Williams family, residing at the nearby Sycamore Dale plantation house, maintains ownership of this natural formation in the Potomac River.
Visitors can observe the island from the Romney Bridge or Northwestern Turnpike while local fishermen access it through the South Branch Potomac River.
Mill Creek flows into the South Branch along the western shore of the island, while Wergman Run enters the river on the northeastern side.
