Penns Creek is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed August 8, 2011〕 tributary of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania in the United States.〔Gertler, Edward. ''Keystone Canoeing'', Seneca Press, 2004. ISBN 0-9749692-0-6〕 Originally named "John Penn's Creek" after William Penn's younger brother, it was renamed Penns Creek (without the apostrophe) in 1802 by an Act of Assembly. The creek drains a watershed of approximately in Snyder, Union, and Centre counties. Penns Creek flows from its headwaters north of Spring Mills to the Susquehanna River, approximately downstream of Selinsgrove.〔 A large spring within Penns Cave, a commercial cave that offers guided tours by boat, forms one source for this limestone creek. The upper reaches of Penns Creek offer some of the best trout flyfishing in the Northeast, with a Green Drake hatch occurring in late May that is one of the largest in the world. Additional Hendricksons, Sulphurs, and Tricos also attract anglers. As the water travels towards the Susquehanna, the temperatures gradually warm to levels best suited for panfish. ==Tributaries== (In order heading downstream) *Penns Cave *Sinking Creek *Elk Creek *Pine Creek *Middle Creek 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penns Creek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
