Mitchler Run is a tributary of Huntington Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately {{convert|1.9|mi|km}} long and flows through Ross Township.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of {{convert|1.52|sqmi|km2}} and the stream has no named tributaries. The stream is considered by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to be Class A Wild Trout Waters for brook trout.

Course

Mitchler Run begins near the base of a mountain in Ross Township. It flows east for several hundred feet before turning south-southwest and entering a valley. After several tenths of a mile, the stream crosses Pennsylvania Route 118 and continues flowing south-southwest. Some distance further downstream, it turns southeast. After several hundred feet, it reaches its confluence with Huntington Creek.[1]

Mitchler Run joins Huntington Creek {{convert|23.5|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2]

Tributaries

No tributaries of Mitchler Run, named or unnamed, are shown on The National Map.[1] However, a 1958 map by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission shows several unnamed tributaries (but no named tributaries) of the stream.[5]

Hydrology, geography, and watershed

The concentration of alkalinity in Mitchler Run is 20 milligrams per liter.[3]

The elevation near the mouth of Mitchler Run is {{convert|1089|ft|m}} above sea level.[4] The elevation of the stream's source is between {{convert|1400|and|1420|ft|m}} above sea level.[1]

The watershed of Mitchler Run has an area of {{convert|1.52|sqmi|km2}}.[2] Mitchler Run is entirely in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Sweet Valley.[5] The stream is also entirely on land that is private property and closed to the public.[3]

History

Mitchler Run's identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1181380. The stream was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979.[5] Mitchler Run has had its name since at least 1958, when it was on a map created by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission.[6]

Biology

Mitchler Run is considered by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to be Class A Wild Trout Waters between its headwaters and its mouth. It is inhabited by brook trout. The stream is one of six direct tributaries of Huntington Creek to be designated as Class A Wild Trout Waters.[3][7] The others are Shingle Run, Arnold Creek, Lick Branch, Phillips Creek, and part of Kitchen Creek.[3][7]
