West Branch Lackawanna River

The West Branch Lackawanna River (also known as Ball Creek) is a tributary of the Lackawanna River in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Ararat Township, Herrick Township, and Union Dale. The watershed of the river has an area of . The river is not designated as an impaired stream and it has a high level of water quality. Lakes and wetlands in the river's watershed include Ball Lake, Fiddle Lake, Hathaway Lake, Lake Romobe, Lewis Lake, Lowe Lake, and Sink Hole Swamp. The river is also dammed by at least two dams: the Romobe Lake Dam and the Hathaway Pond Dam.
The West Branch Lackawanna River is a second-order stream. Its watershed is narrow and largely undeveloped. The Delaware and Hudson Railway historically followed the river for some distance and a number of bridges have also been constructed over it. The river is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. Both brook trout and brown trout inhabit it and the river was historically stocked with trout as well. Recreational opportunities in the watershed include the D&H Trail and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 236.

The West Branch Lackawanna River begins in a wetland in Ararat Township. It flows north for a few tenths of a mile before entering Sinkhole Swamp. From this point, it turns east and enters Fomobe Lake. From the southeastern part of this lake, the river flows south-southeast for a few tenths of a mile and enters Hathaway Lake. From the southern end of that lake, the river flows southeast for more than a mile before turning south-southeast. After several tenths of a mile, it turns south and then south-southwest. It then flows west-southwest for a short distance before turning south-southeast and entering Herrick Township. The river passes through a wetland and continues meandering south-southeast as its valley becomes narrower. It eventually turns in a roughly southerly direction for a few miles, crossing Pennsylvania Route 374 and entering Union Dale. In Union Dale, the river continues to flow south, receiving Fiddle Lake Creek, its only named tributary, from the right after several tenths of a mile. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, it enters Stillwater Lake and reaches its confluence with the Lackawanna River.〔
The West Branch Lackawanna River joins the Lackawanna River upriver of its mouth.
