Spring Creek (Little Lehigh Creek tributary)

Spring Creek, in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, is a tributary of the Little Lehigh Creek. It is a small stream, primarily spring-fed, and located within Lehigh County. The creek's origin is largely from groundwater discharge, contributing to its relatively consistent flow and cool water temperatures. These conditions often support a population of trout and other cold-water species. Spring Creek flows through a primarily suburban and agricultural landscape before its confluence with the Little Lehigh Creek. The stream is subject to the same environmental pressures as other streams in the region, including stormwater runoff and agricultural pollutants. Efforts have been made to protect and improve water quality in the creek, including riparian buffer restoration projects. It is not to be confused with other streams named Spring Creek in Pennsylvania or elsewhere.
