Penns CreekGeneral Description
Penns Creek is Pennsylvania’s largest, and longest spring creek. Bubbling
from a cave located about 15 miles east of State College, the stream stays modest
in size until it reaches Spring Mills where it is joined by Sinking Creek. At this
point, Penns Creek becomes a proper creek in size, and an excellent trout stream
for wild and stocked brown trout, as well as stocked rainbows.
To many anglers, Penns Creek means Green Drakes. The big, floppy mayflies appear
in tremendous numbers in late May and early June and attract crowds of anglers
to the stream.
Canoeing on Penns Creek is possible in early spring, but since this
is a favorite spot of fishermen, it may be best to paddle other waters after
the opening of trout season in mid April.
