Wildcat Creek (also known as Millers Creek, Tinklepaugh Creek, or Wild Cat Creek) is a tributary of the Lackawanna River in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Archbald and Blakely. The watershed of the creek has an area of . It has one named tributary, which is known as West Branch Tinklepaugh Creek. The creek may lose flow to coal measures and may receive only intermittent flow even at its source. Only the upper reaches of the creek have a natural channel. It flows through an open box culvert in its lower reaches. The watershed of Wildcat Creek is mainly on residential and commercial land. The creek is a source of flooding in Archbald and Blakely. The creek's course was diverted at least once in the early 20th century and a bridge was constructed over it in the late 20th century. A trail along the creek between the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail and Archbald Pothole State Park has been proposed. The creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. ==Course== Wildcat Creek begins in a valley between Hibbard Mountain and Meyers Mountain in Archbald. It flows southeast for several tenths of a mile before leaving the water gap and crossing a highway. Near the Archbald Pothole, the creek turns south-southwest for approximately two miles, entering Blakely and receiving West Branch Tinklepaugh Creek, its only named tributary, from the right. Soon afterwards, the creek crosses Pennsylvania Route 247 and turns southeast. After a short distance, it turns southwest for a few tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with the Lackawanna River.〔 Wildcat Creek joins the Lackawanna River upriver of its mouth.
