Happy Valley Farm on Indian Creek is a 37-acre Wild and Wonderful Monroe Couty, West Virginia gem of a property. The farm has 500 feet +/- of excellent direct access to the beloved stream Indian Creek, a tributary of the New River. An excellent recently built bank barn includes upper and lower sections for multiple uses. This is an excellent farm for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and many other animals. This farm includes approximately 10 acres of fertile and level creekfront property. The property could be a location for a campground or many other uses. Indian Creek takes its name from a Native American trail that crossed the Appalachians from the valley of the Ohio River to that of the Great Valley of Virginia. "It was the interstate of the Indian world." Indian Creek is a tributary of the New River. It is one of Monroe County's main drainage basins. Indian Creek begins its journey near Salt Sulphur Springs and drains tens of thousands of acres on its winding 30-mile-long trip through pastoral farms, steep mountain canyons, wide bottomland forests, wetlands, and marshes before ending its trip close to Crumps Bottom, where it enters the New River. Indian Creek is an excellent fishing stream that maintains water throughout the year. Other activities include swimming in the deep pools, boating, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking
