Big Bushkill Creek (Bush Kill on federal maps[1]) is a 30.1-mile-long (48.4 km)[2] tributary of the Delaware River in the Poconos of eastern Pennsylvania in the United States.[3]

It originates from Pecks Pond 41°16′51″N 75°05′14″W / 41.2808°N 75.0872°W / 41.2808; -75.0872 in Pike County. It flows south, entering Pickerel Lake and then into Beaver Run Pond. Most of the stream travels through Delaware State Forest before entering Monroe County. It is a prominent feature of Resica Falls Scout Reservation.

Bush Kill joins the Delaware River at the village of Bushkill.[3]
