Warm Spring Run is a cool stream located in Morgan County, West Virginia. It's about 11.9 miles (19.2 kilometers) long. This stream is a "tributary," which means it's a smaller stream that flows into a bigger river. In this case, Warm Spring Run flows into the famous Potomac River.

The stream starts on the eastern side of a place called Warm Springs Ridge. It then flows alongside U.S. Route 522 for most of its journey. Finally, Warm Spring Run joins the Potomac River near a town called Hancock.

What makes Warm Spring Run special is where its water comes from. It's mostly fed by natural springs found on Warm Springs Ridge. The most famous of these springs are in Berkeley Springs State Park in the town of Berkeley Springs. The stream actually flows right through this park!
