Meadow Brook (Lackawanna River tributary)
Meadow Brook is a small tributary stream of the Lackawanna River in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of the Susquehanna River watershed. The brook originates from springs and surface runoff in the Moosic Mountains and flows generally southward through a relatively rural and wooded area before entering the Lackawanna River near Moosic, Pennsylvania.
The stream is known to support populations of trout and other aquatic life and is considered a valuable local resource. Its watershed encompasses a mix of forested land, wetlands, and limited residential development. The water quality of Meadow Brook is influenced by factors such as stormwater runoff and potential non-point source pollution from surrounding land uses.
Efforts may be underway or planned to protect and improve the ecological health of Meadow Brook and its surrounding watershed. These might include riparian buffer restoration, stormwater management practices, and public education initiatives. Its location and connection to the larger Lackawanna River watershed make it an important component of the regional ecosystem.
