US river rising in West Virginia that flows into Chesapeake Bay (7)

I believe the answer is:

potomac

(Other definitions for potomac that I've seen before include "to which banks in Washington have access" , "Water flowing" , "Washington's river" , "Capital outflow" , "River of Washington DC" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
