About this river

Brodhead Creek

Brodhead Creek is a 22-mile long tributary of the Delaware River in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was named after Daniel Brodhead, a colonial-era officer and surveyor. The creek originates in Monroe County and flows southeast through the Pocono Mountains. It is a cold-water fishery, and supports a diverse population of fish species including trout, bass, and panfish. There are several reservoirs and dams along the creek, including the Brodhead Creek Dam, which was constructed in the 1920s to provide water to the town of Stroudsburg. Today, the creek and its surrounding areas are popular for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and kayaking. The creek also serves as a source of irrigation for local agricultural communities.
