Stafford Meadow Brook
Stafford Meadow Brook (also known as Stafford Meadow Creek) is a tributary of the Lackawanna River in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Roaring Brook Township, Scranton, and Moosic. The watershed of the stream has an area of . Part of it is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The other part is a Warmwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The stream has one named tributary, which is known as Mountain Lake Run. Stafford Meadow Brook has a very high level of water quality for much of its length and part of it meets the criteria for an Exceptional Value designation. The stream begins on the Pocono Plateau and flows through the Moosic Mountains in a mountainous watershed. Its channel has been substantially altered in its lower reaches.
Numerous wetlands and reservoirs are present in the watershed of Stafford Meadow Brook. Reservoirs such as Lake Scranton and the Williams Bridge Reservoir are used as a water supply. Major roads in the watershed include Interstate 81, Interstate 380, Pennsylvania Route 307, and others. In the early 1900s, the main industries in the watershed included coal mining and agriculture. However, iron ore has also been mined in the watershed in the past and a sawmill was once present on the stream. Several railroads historically operated in the watershed and a number of bridges were built over the stream in the 20th century. The Montage Mountain Ski Resort is in the watershed.
==Course==
Stafford Meadow Brook begins near Birchwood Estates in Roaring Brook Township. It flows west-southwest for several tenths of a mile before turning northwest for a few miles. It flows in a broad valley alongside Pennsylvania Route 307, crossing it three times and receiving five unnamed tributaries: three from the left and two from the right. The stream eventually passes through the Williams Bridge Reservoir as its valley becomes narrower. On the northern side of the reservoir, it flows north-northwest for a few tenths of a mile before entering Lake Scranton and briefly passing through Scranton before reentering Roaring Brook Township. From the southern end of the lake, the stream flows southwest for a few miles, receiving one unnamed tributary from the left and another from the right. It then reenters Scranton and continues flowing southwest, receiving one more unnamed tributary from the left. It then briefly turns south before passing through the District Number Fifty-Nine Reservoir and turning northwest. After several tenths of a mile, it enters Moosic and then turns northeast for more than a mile, reentering Scranton and flowing alongside Interstate 81. The stream eventually receives Mountain Lake Run, its only named tributary, and turns northwest for several tenths of a mile, crossing US Route 11 and reaching its confluence with the Lackawanna River.〔
