There are 12 named tributaries of Shamokin Creek (pictured), a 32.4-mile (52.1 km) long tributary of the Susquehanna River. Of the 12 tributaries, 11 flow directly into Shamokin Creek. The longest tributaries are Little Shamokin Creek, Carbon Run, North Branch Shamokin Creek, Coal Run, and Millers Run. Many of the upper tributaries of Shamokin Creek are in the Western Middle Anthracite Coalfield and nearly all of the streams in this part of the watershed are impacted by mining, except for Furnace Run. Various mine drainage sites occur in the watersheds of all other streams in the upper Shamokin Creek watershed. None of the tributaries in the lower reaches of the Shamokin Creek watershed are affected by mining. Although the main stem of the creek is designated as a Warmwater Fishery, all of its tributaries are designated as Coldwater Fisheries. Some tributaries, such as North Branch Shamokin Creek and Quaker Run, lack fish life. (Full list...)
