The Paxton Creek watershed is approximately 27 square miles, and covers portions of Dauphin County: Susquehanna Township, Lower Paxton Township, the City of Harrisburg, and Penbrook Borough. Land use in the watershed includes forested mountain headwaters, low and medium density development Forested headwater stream of surrounding Harrisburg, and highly urban development near the City portion.
