Jordan Creek (Pennsylvania)
Jordan Creek (Pennsylvania Dutch: Hollenbach) is a 34.1 mi tributary of Little Lehigh Creek in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
Geography
Jordan Creek arises from a natural spring on Blue Mountain. The spring is located downhill from the Bake Oven Knob shelter on the Appalachian Trail in Heidelberg Township in Lehigh County. The water course then flows intermittently downhill past Mountain Road, carrying further south through Heidelberg Township and passing through the Trexler Nature Preserve in Schnecksville. Jordan Creek joins Little Lehigh Creek in Allentown before soon flowing into the Lehigh River. It drains an area of 75.8 sqmi. Along with Bethlehem, Egypt, and Emmaus, Jordan Creek is one several Lehigh Valley locations whose name was inspired by locations referenced in the Bible.
