About Us
Penns Creek, Our Namesake
Penns Creek is a large, limestone-influenced stream that originates several miles north of Spring Mills, Centre Co., in a limestone cavern known as Penns Cave. From there it flows through mountainous terrain and farmland for 67 miles to the Susquehanna River at Selinsgrove making it Pennsylvania’s longest limestone stream. Penns Creek is notable for its scenic setting, excellent insect hatches and exceptional Class A wild brown trout fishery.
