Wills Creek (North Branch Potomac River tributary)

Wills Creek is a 38.6-mile-long (62.1 km)[1] tributary of the North Branch Potomac River in Pennsylvania and Maryland in the United States.

Wills Creek enters Bedford County, Pennsylvania, in Londonderry Township, passing through Hyndman and making a sharp turn southward.

It then runs past Corriganville and near Narrows Park before entering the North Branch Potomac River at Cumberland, Maryland.

Disastrous floods from Wills Creek had ravaged Cumberland, particularly in 1924, 1936, and 1942, and the Army Corps of Engineers designed a system that would prevent property damage caused by the high waters.

It began just upstream from the bridge at U.S. Route 40, where the corps paved the bottom of Wills Creek, constructing concrete walls along its banks, and with the building of a sophisticated pumping system to prevent the watershed from flooding during heavy rain.
