Buck Creek (Delaware River tributary)
Buck Creek is a small tributary of the Delaware River located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a relatively short stream, flowing for several miles through predominantly rural and suburban landscapes before its confluence with the Delaware River.
The creek's watershed is primarily characterized by agricultural lands, woodlands, and residential development. Buck Creek plays a role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for various aquatic and terrestrial species. Water quality can be impacted by runoff from agricultural activities and stormwater from developed areas.
