Maiden Creek

There are five protected use designations awarded to streams that support the maintenance and propagation of fish species and suitable habitat for flora and fauna.

Lower Maiden Creek and Lake Ontelaunee support the propagation of fish species, flora and fauna that are indigenous to a Warm Waters Fishery.

The 2,100-mile (3,400 km) Appalachian Trail, running from Maine to Georgia, parallels the northern border of the watershed in Albany, Greenwich, and Windsor townships.

The trail follows the crest of Blue Mountain from the north and dips down into both the Pine and Furnace Creek subbasins before exiting the watershed to the west.

Several side trails provide access to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Blue Rocks and the Pinnacle, three regionally important recreational features.

The Saucony Creek corridor is listed in the Berks County Natural Areas Inventory as a high priority site for protection.
