Big Run Watershed

Nature
1
Rocky Top, the high ridge to the left, Brown Mt., straight ahead, and Loft Mt., behind, enclose an eleven-square-mile watershed, the largest in the park. One inch of rainfall on this area amounts to nearly 200 million gallons. Some of this water flows over the surface into Big Run, but much of it soaks into the ground where it is stored and given up gradually to springs and the roots of plants.
