From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other streams named Monocacy, see Monocacy.
Monocacy Creek (prounounced muh-naw-cuh-see) is a tributary of the Lehigh River in Northampton County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
One of only 56 limestone streams in the state of Pennsylvania, the creek's headwaters lie in the slate belt, near the borough of Chapman.
From Chapman, the Monocacy follows a 20.3 mile (32.7 km) course through the limestone Lehigh Valley, to its confluence with the Lehigh River in the city of Bethlehem.
The creek is used by many people in the Lehigh Valley for fishing.
Monocacy Creek is not connected to the Monocacy River in Maryland.
