Village Creek Canyon is a narrow, twisting ravine formed by Village Creek below Bayview Dam in western Jefferson County. It is located south and west of the communities of Maytown and Shady Grove.
Sections of the 14-mile ravine have been acquired for conservation by the Freshwater Land Trust. The ravine supports what is thought to be the southernmost stand of Eastern hemlock in the United States.
