New Creek Mountain is a mountain ridge of the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians in Grant and Mineral counties in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The mountain is named for New Creek which rises and flows along its western flanks.
The New Creek Mountain cliffs “rise 800 feet high lining the great cleft in the New Creek and the Knobley mountains that rival the famed Franconia Notch of New England.” Oriskany Sandstone cliffs ring the entire mountain.
