Muddy Run (West Branch Susquehanna River tributary)

Muddy Run is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

Muddy Run begins in a valley in eastern Turbot Township, near the Paradise Church.

After some distance, the creek crosses under Pennsylvania Route 147 and turns northwest past a country club.

The average amount of annual runoff during the same time period was 0.14 inches (0.36 cm).

[4] The main soil series in the Muddy Run watershed is the Berks-Weikert-Bedington, which is a silt-loam with shale.

The Leck Kill-Meckesville-Calvin soil series occurs in the southwestern and north-central areas of the watershed.

It also occupies a small area of western Limestone Township, in Montour County.

[4] The first mill in Turbot Township was built on Muddy Run by Hawkins Boone some time before 1779.

[6] In 1785, Cornelius Waldron and his son Laffert arrived at the mouth of Muddy Run.

[9] Part of the area Muddy Run flowed through was historically referred to as "Paradise".
