Mahoning Creek is a tributary of the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania in the United States.[1]

Course

Portions of the Mahoning Creek watershed fall in Armstrong, Clarion, Jefferson, and Indiana counties. The headwaters of Mahoning Creek are the East Branch Mahoning Creek and Stump Creek in Clearfield County. Mahoning Creek flows west through Pennsylvania and joins the Allegheny River just upstream of Templeton.

The creek can be divided into three sections:

  • Upper Mahoning Creek, from the headwaters to Mahoning Creek Lake
  • Mahoning Creek Lake, formed by Mahoning Creek Dam
  • (Lower) Mahoning Creek, from the dam to the Allegheny River

The waterway is a popular destination for fly fishermen.
