Huntington Creek, Pennsylvania
16.1 mapped river miles, draining 71 square miles, in the Upper Susquehanna Lackawanna basin watershed. No gauge stands in it; the nearest is 21.9 miles away, and what this page knows about its temperature is PA DEP's classification of the water itself.
50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands, breaking at 58, 64 and 70°F, that the app paints. Grey is water nobody has measured.
The nearest live reading
The nearest gauge is 26.9 miles away, at Lehigh River — not a reading of this water, but of what the region is doing today. A closer gauge has stopped reporting — its water-temperature series is empty, and was last stamped 7 May 2025, so no number here comes from it.
Thermal classification
PA DEP's classification of this water, reach by reach. A class, not a temperature — no July mean, because none was measured here.

|---|---|---|---|
| RM 16.1–15.9 | 0.2 | cool | — |
| RM 16.1–16.1 | 13.3 | cold | — |
| RM 15.9–0.0 | 16.8 | cool | — |
PA DEP has classified 30.3 of the 30 miles NHD carries for this stream — 100% of it. The typed water splits 17.0 mi cool, 13.3 mi cold. The untyped reaches are not warm water — they are water PA DEP's inventory does not reach, and the mile ranges above span only the reaches it does.
