Hicks Creek (Susquehanna River)

Hicks Creek is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Exeter Township and Exeter. The watershed of the creek has an area of . A reach of the creek is designated as an impaired stream, with the cause of the impairment being sedimentation/siltation and water/flow variability. It is not a perennial stream. The upper reaches of the creek's watershed is mountainous, but the creek has an extremely low gradient in its lower reaches. A reach of the creek has been channelized and a debris basin is located along it. There are several bridge crossings along its course.
Most of the watershed of Hicks Creek is forested land. However, residential areas, open space, meadows, and various other land uses also occur. The creek has been described as a "typical urban stream", but its upper reaches are considerably different from its lower reaches. Hicks Creek used to be a tributary of Abrahams Creek, but stream realignment due to mine subsidience caused it to relocated itself and become a tributary of the Susquehanna River since the 1940s. The creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery, but has low levels of aquatic biodiversity.
==Course==
Hicks Creek begins in a valley on Peterson Mountain in Exeter Township. It flows southwest for several tenths of a mile before turning south and entering Exeter. In Exeter, the creek flows through a water gap for several tenths of a mile and continues to flow south from the southern side of the gap. Over the next several tenths of a mile, it gradually turns east and then north before turning northeast for several tenths of a mile. The creek then turns north for a short distance before turning east-northeast. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, it crosses Pennsylvania Route 92 and reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River near Scovell Island.〔
Hicks Creek joins the Susquehanna River upriver of its mouth.
