Protecting Saucon Creek Watershed Together
Our mission is to safeguard Saucon Creek and its watershed through dedicated scientific stewardship and active community advocacy, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for generations to come.
Saucon Creek is a 26.6-mile-long stream and is considered a high-quality cold-water fishery by the standards of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
The Saucon Creek Watershed is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, traversing Lehigh and Northampton Counties, with a very small portion of the watershed entering Bucks County. Saucon Creek is a direct tributary of the Lehigh River, which then flows into the Delaware River.
Saucon Creek is its own sub-watershed of the Lehigh River. The watershed starts in Lower Milford Township and proceeds northeast to the City of Bethlehem. The entire watershed continues through all or part of 10 different municipalities, including:
- Upper Milford Township
- Lower Milford Township
- Upper Saucon Township
- Lower Saucon Township
- Williams Township
- Salisbury Township
- Springfield Township (Bucks)
- Borough of Hellertown
- Coopersburg Borough
- City of Bethlehem
