==Course==
Lick Run begins near the western edge of Lawrence Township, close to the Panther Rocks and in Moshannon State Forest.〔 Its source is a spring above Panther Rocks Camp.〔 The stream begins flowing west and almost immediately exits Lawrence Township. Upon exiting Lawrence Township, the creek enters Pine Township. It then turns southwest and flows into a valley which gets deep very quickly. The creek then turns southeast and then south after a short distance, exiting Pine Township. It reenters the northern Lawrence Township and continues southeast, passing through Pennsylvania State Game Lands #90. The creek continues for several miles in the same direction before reaching the southern part of the township.〔 It then receives the tributaries Slate Run and Fork Run before passing through the Baney Settlement. The creek briefly enters Goshen Township and turns south, reentering Lawrence Township. It turns east and begins to flow past strip mines. The creek begins to meander is it enters Goshen Township again and picks up the tributary Flegals Run. A short distance downstream, it crosses Pennsylvania Route 879 and enters the West Branch Susquehanna River.
