Sinking Creek Valley Cluster, Protected area in Craig County, United States
The Sinking Creek Valley Cluster spans across the Jefferson National Forest with mountains reaching elevations over 3,600 feet and contains multiple creek systems.
The region underwent geological transformations during the Paleozoic era, forming resistant quartzite, conglomerates, and sandstones through uplift and erosion processes.
Three covered bridges cross Sinking Creek, representing traditional engineering methods that protected wooden structures while facilitating transportation across waterways.
The cluster lies approximately six miles north of Newport, Virginia, with detailed navigation information available on National Geographic Map 788.
Ancient landslides from 10,000 to 20,000 years ago created distinctive features including bogs, springs, and sag ponds across the eastern mountain flank.
