It is approximately long and flows through Lake Township, Lehman Township, Jackson Township, and Plymouth Township. The watershed of the creek has an area of . It is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery, as well as being Class A Wild Trout Waters for part of its length. The creek has a 400-acre reservoir, which is known as the Pikes Creek Reservoir and supplies water to tens of thousands of people. A number of bridges have been constructed over the creek. ==Course== Pikes Creek begins in a pond or small lake in Lake Township. It flows southwest for several tenths of a mile before turning south-southeast, east, and then south. The creek then turns southeast for several tenths of a mile before turning south for more than a mile, flowing alongside Pennsylvania Route 29 and through the community of Pikes Creek and crossing Pennsylvania Route 118.〔 At the southern end of the community, the creek receives Fades Creek, its only named tributary, from the right. Pikes Creek then turns west-southwest for a short distance before turning south, exiting Pikes Creek and Lake Township and entering Lehman Township. After some distance, the creek turns east-southeast, flowing away from Pennsylvania Route 29, and enters the Pikes Creek Reservoir after more than a mile. At the southwestern edge of the reservoir, the creek turns southeast for several hundred feet before turning east along the border between Jackson Township and Plymouth Township. After several tenths of a mile, it reaches its confluence with Harveys Creek.〔 Pikes Creek joins Harveys Creek upstream of its mouth.
