Seneca Creek is a tributary of the North Fork South Branch Potomac River in Pendleton County, West Virginia. Seneca Creek lies within the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area of the Monongahela National Forest. Seneca Creek is formed by two spring-fed streams, Slab Camp Run and Trussel Run, on the western flanks of Spruce Mountain to the north of Spruce Knob. It empties into the North Fork South Branch at the community of Seneca Rocks near the base of the Seneca Rocks formation.
