Salt Pond Mountain is a ridge in Giles County, Virginia, within the Ridge-and-Valley province of the Appalachian Mountains. Extending about seven miles from southwest to northeast, it connects Johns Creek Mountain with the Big Mountain–Potts Mountain ridge near the West Virginia line. Its highest point is Bald Knob at the southeastern end, south of Mountain Lake. The mountain lies on the Eastern Continental Divide, with drainage flowing toward both the Gulf of Mexico through the New River system and the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic through Johns Creek and the James River system. It is also part of a protected recreational landscape crossed at its northeastern end by the Appalachian Trail.
