The East Branch Lackawanna River is a tributary of the Lackawanna River in Wayne County and Susquehanna County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Preston Township in Wayne County and Ararat Township, Herrick Township, Union Dale, and Clifford Township. The watershed of the river has an area of . The river is not designated as impaired and has a relatively high level of water quality. A portion of the Moosic Mountains (specifically Ararat Mountain and Sugar Loaf Mountain) are in its vicinity. Source ponds in the river's watershed include Bone Pond, Dunns Pond, Independent Lake, Lake Lorain, Mud Pond, and Orson Pond. There are a number of wetlands and swamps in the watershed, but agricultural and forested land is present as well. The New York, Ontario and Western Railway historically passed through the watershed of the East Branch Lackawanna River. Additionally, a number of bridges have been constructed across the river and there are three major road crossings. The river is designated as a High Quality Coldwater Fishery (a designation which it received in 1991) and a Migratory Fishery. Both brook trout and brown trout are present within it. However, the river has a slightly impaired macroinvertebrate population. It has been described as an "excellent wild trout fishery". ==Course== The East Branch Lackawanna River begins in a small lake in Preston Township, Wayne County. It flows southwest through a valley for a few miles, receiving two unnamed tributaries from the left. Its valley broadens and it briefly turns west before turning south-southwest and receiving two unnamed tributaries from the right. After meandering south-southwest for several tenths of a mile, the river exits Preston Township and Wayne County. It then enters Ararat Township, Susquehanna County and flows south alongside the county line for a few tenths of a mile. The river then passes through Mud Pond and turns west for a short distance before turning south-southeast. After several tenths of a mile, it reenters Preston Township, Wayne County, crosses Pennsylvania Route 370, and receives two more unnamed tributaries from the left before turning west-southwest and reentering Ararat Township, Susquehanna County. The river then turns south and slightly west for several miles, entering Herrick Township and receiving several more unnamed tributaries from both sides. It eventually crosses Pennsylvania Route 371 and enters Union Dale, where it turns south-southeast for a few tenths of a mile and then begins flowing south again. After more than a mile, the river enters Clifford Township and turns west, almost immediately entering Stillwater Lake and reaching its confluence with the Lackawanna River.〔 The East Branch Lackawanna River joins the Lackawanna River upriver of its mouth.
