Tunkhannock Creek is a 42.3-mile-long (68.1 km)[1] tributary of the Susquehanna River in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Most sources note, however, that hanna, as in Susque-, Toby-, Loyal-, Tunkhannock, and Lackawanna, suggests "moving water."
Tunkhannock Creek is traced northeast along PA Highway 92 to its source of Cheraine Pond near Jackson.
