Passage Creek

Passage Creek is a 38.5-mile-long (62.0 km)[1] tributary stream of the North Fork Shenandoah River in Fort Valley, Virginia. For most of its length it flows through a rural valley between the two spine-like ridges of Massanutten Mountain, then exits the valley by cutting a narrow gorge through the northeast end of the mountain. The creek passes through US Forest Service protected land.[2] It is a popular fishing spot because it is stocked with trout.[3] It runs along Fort Valley Road, and is accessible at the Elizabeth Furnace recreation area.[4]
