Mehoopany Creek

Mehoopany Creek is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Sullivan and Wyoming counties, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

Its major tributaries include Stony Brook and North Fork Mehoopany Creek.

Mehoopany Creek begins in Splashdam Pond in Colley Township, just west of the eastern border of Sullivan County.

It dips southeast, picking up the tributary Bellas Brook, and then flows in a northeasterly direction for several miles.
