A greenway/connecting trail in the vicinity of the creek was proposed in the early 2000s in the Lackawanna River Watershed Conservation Plan.

The creek then turns west for a short distance before tuning north and then north-northeast, reentering Olyphant and receiving an unnamed tributary from the right.

It then turns northwest and crosses Pennsylvania Route 347 before reaching its confluence with the Lackwanna River after a few tenths of a mile.

[1] Eddy Creek joins the Lackawanna River 16.84 miles (27.10 km) upriver of its mouth.

[5] Eddy Creek used to have flow, but has turned into a "leaky slow trickle" that carries acid mine drainage.

In 2014, Joseph D'Onofrio, a senior engineering technician for GTS Technologies, compared the creek to an "old perforated pipe".

[1] At one point, Eddy Creek flows through a restored channel at a reclaimed mining site.

Further downstream, the creek flows through its natural channel and cuts across a number of rock ledges.

From Birds Eye Mine to Underwood Road, the stream channel has been completely destroyed.

[9] The headwaters of Eddy Creek are in springs and wetlands in the vicinity of Marshwood, near the edge of Moosic Mountain.

[4] Some drift is located near the creek and reddish shale and sandstone of the Catskill Formation can be seen in this area.

The creek received the lowest score in seven categories: instream cover, epifaunal substrate, embeddedness, velocity/depth regimes, sediment deposits, riffle frequency, and channel flow status.

As a last resort, water from Eddy Creek and the Lackawanna River were used in an attempt to extinguish it.

The dam was owned by the Delaware and Hudson Company and was used for impounding water to flush ashes from a power plant.

[3] A concrete culvert bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 347 was built over Eddy Creek in 2008.

[14] As of the early 2000s, the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation has been restoring the stream corridor and channel of Eddy Creek.

[4] As of 2014, there were plans to restore 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of the creek, starting in Spring 2015 and ending in December 2015.

Three wetlands and two bat habitats will be affected, but no historic or archaeological sites will be, and the flow of the Lackawanna River will not be impacted.

Strip mine overburden piles covered in forests also occur in the creek's riparian area.

[11] In the early 2000s, the Lackawanna River Watershed Conservation Plan recommended the creation of a greenway/connecting trail along Eddy Creek.
