Moshannon Creek, a tributary of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, runs for 57.4 miles and is known for its reddish-orange water and rocks colored by iron compounds from nearby mining activities.“Often called “Red Moshannon” or “Red Mo,” this creek is known for its striking appearance—but its water is heavily polluted and not safe for drinking. Don’t confuse it with nearby Black Moshannon Creek, which does have safe, drinkable water.
