Keeler Creek is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 2.0 miles (3.2 km) long and flows through Falls Township.
Course
Keeler Creek begins in a valley in Falls Township. It flows southwest for a few tenths of a mile before turning west-southwest. After a few tenths of a mile, the creek's valley narrows and it turns southwest for a few tenths of a mile. It then leaves its valley and turns south for a few tenths of a mile before turning southwest. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, the creek reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River.
Keeler Creek joins the Susquehanna River 206.56 miles (332.43 km) upriver of its mouth.
Hydrology
Keeler Creek is not designated as an impaired waterbody.
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Keeler Creek is 554 feet (169 m) above sea level. The elevation of the creek's source is between 980 and 1,000 feet (299 and 305 m) above sea level.
Keeler Creek is a small stream that in 1827 was described as being able to support mills.
Watershed
The watershed of Keeler Creek has an area of 1.86 square miles (4.8 km). The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Ransom. Its designated use is for aquatic life.
