Brodhead Creek is a 21.9-mile-long (35.2 km)[1] tributary of the Delaware River in the Poconos of eastern Pennsylvania in the United States.[2]
It is formed by the union of the Middle and Levitt branches in Barrett Township in Monroe County. The native name was "Analomink." The present name was given for Daniel Brodhead, a prominent early settler.[3] It receives McMichael Creek as it flows south and east into the Delaware River.
The stream flows south, separating the boroughs of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg. It covers a basin of 294 sq mi and its maximum discharge was 68,800 cubic feet per second, in 1955.[citation needed]
Brodhead Creek joins the Delaware River at the head of the Delaware Water Gap.[2]
