River and Dam levels in the Lackawanna River Watershed
The Lackawanna Watershed is located within four northeastern Pennsylvania counties: western Wayne, southeastern
Susquehanna, central Lackawanna, and northeastern Luzerne. Flow for the main stem of the River originates from
releases at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District controlled Stillwater Dam, which receives water
from the East and West branches of the Lackawanna River. Additional flows enter the River from approximately 65
tributary streams, including major tributaries such as: Fall Brook, Rush Brook, Aylesworth Creek, Leggetts
Creek, Roaring Brook, Spring Brook and Mill Creek (for more info on these and other tributary streams, check out
Appendix C of the Lackawanna River Conservation Plan. Graphical water flow information regarding Stillwater Dam
and Aylesworth Dam is available from the USACE Baltimore District. Information on the River's level and discharge
are available by accessing data from the three USGS streamflow gaging stations on the mainstem of the Lackawanna
River at Forest City, Archbald, and Old Forge.
