Pine Creek is named for the vast number of Pine Trees that surround the creek and cover the mountains in the area. The name stems from the Iroquois Indians that once called Pine Creek, Tiadaghton, or “River of Pine”. Pine Creek runs from Potter County just southeast of Ulysses and ends at the Susquehanna River near the small town of Jersey Shore and covers over 80 miles. A vast number of streams and creeks feed into Pine Creek creating the largest “Creek” in the United States.
