Tunkhannock 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 northeastern Pennsylvania, United States. English translations of the Lenni-Lenape ''Tunkhannock'' vary, including "meeting of the waters", "small stream", "wilderness stream", and "wooded stream". Most sources note, however, that ''hanna'', as in Susque-, Toby-, Loyal-, Tunk''hannock'', and Lacka''wanna'', suggests "moving water." Tunkhannock Creek is traced northeast along PA Highway 92 to its source near Jackson. It has an East Branch that rises in Herrick Township to the east and north of Elk Mountain and a South Branch that rises near Montdale in Scott Township. The Erie Lackawanna Railway Tunkhannock Viaduct (called locally the "Nicholson Bridge"), featuring high, multiple concrete arches, passes over the creek near Nicholson. Tunkhannock Creek empties into the Susquehanna at Tunkhannock in Wyoming County.〔Gertler, Edward. ''Keystone Canoeing'', Seneca Press, 2004.
