Perkiomen Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perkiomen Creek is a tributary of the Schuylkill River in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
Perkiomen Creek (Lenape for "muddy waters" or "where the cranberries grow") joins the Schuylkill River approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 km) downstream of the community of Audubon, the location of the National Audubon Society wildlife sanctuary Mill Grove Farm, once the estate of 19th-century ornithologist John James Audubon. Its largest tributary is East Branch Perkiomen Creek.
The Perkiomen Trail was established in 2003 as a partnership with the Mongtomery County Planning Commission and local governments to provide a walking, jogging, and biking path along the creek that stretches south from Green Lane Resiviour Park to Valley Forge where it meets the Schuylkill River Trail.
