Aquia Creek, Tributary creek in Stafford County, Virginia, United States.
The creek stretches 27.6 miles from southeastern Fauquier County to the Potomac River at Brent Point, 45 miles south of Washington DC.
The sandstone quarried from Aquia Creek between 1792 and 1799 was used in the construction of the White House and National Capitol Columns.
The creek area provided essential resources for regional development through its sandstone quarries and waterway transportation system.
The creek offers multiple access points for kayaking and fishing activities, with a new paddle craft launch at Widewater State Park.
A world record Northern Snakehead fish weighing 17 pounds and 6 ounces was captured in the waters of Aquia Creek in 2013.
