Beech Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the community named Beech Creek, see Beech Creek, Pennsylvania.
Beech Creek is a 27.3-mile-long (43.9 km)[1] tributary of Bald Eagle Creek in Centre and Clinton counties, in Pennsylvania in the United States. Via Bald Eagle Creek, its water flows to the West Branch Susquehanna River, then the Susquehanna River, and ultimately to Chesapeake Bay.
Beech Creek is born at the confluence of the North and South Forks, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) upstream of Kato, and flows for 27.3 miles (43.9 km) to join Bald Eagle Creek, 1.8 miles (2.9 km) downstream of the borough of Beech Creek. The abandoned grade of the Beech Creek Railroad follows it along its length, running from its mouth up to the North Fork.
