Many small headwater streams flow into the tributaries of Paxton Creek, which empties into the Susquehanna River in the City of Harrisburg, and ultimately flows to the Chesapeake Bay. All of the land area drained by Paxton Creek and its 63 miles of tributaries and headwater streams is called the Paxton Creek watershed. 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. Paxton Creek What is a Watershed? A watershed is the area of land that drains to a particular point along a stream. A watershed boundary is defined by the highest elevations surrounding the stream.
