Template:Geobox River

Plunketts Creek is an approximately 6.2-mile (10.0 km) long tributary of Loyalsock Creek in Lycoming and Sullivan counties in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. A part of the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin via the West Branch Susquehanna River and Susquehanna River, the Plunketts Creek watershed is 23.6 square miles (61.1 km). It has given its name to Plunketts Creek Township in Lycoming County.

Course and Tributaries

The source of Plunketts Creek is at 1,440 feet (439 m) in the Loyalsock State Forest in Hillsgrove Township, Sullivan County, northwest of the village of Hillsgrove. The creek flows southwest about 1.5 miles (2.4 km), where it crosses into Lycoming County. Just before crossing the county line it receives an unnamed tributary on the left bank.

The creek continues southwest as it enters Plunketts Creek Township in Lycoming County and receives Reibson Run on the left bank, 4.70 miles (7.56 km) upstream from the mouth. It next receives Mock Creek at the village of Hoppestown (4.24 miles (6.8 km) upstream from the mouth), then Wolf Run (2.72 miles (4.4 km) from the mouth), both on the right bank. At the village of Proctor, Plunketts Creek receives King Run (1.66 miles (2.7 km)) on the right bank, then turns south towards Loyalsock Creek. It receives Dry Run on the left bank (0.17 miles (0.3 km) from the mouth), and finally enters Loyalsock Creek just upstream of the village of Barbours. As the crow flies, Lycoming County is about 130 miles (209 km) northwest of Philadelphia and 165 miles (266 km) east-northeast of Pittsburgh.
