Spring Creek rises in Lower Paxton Township, flowing through adjacent areas such as Paxtang, Oakleigh, Progress, Lawnton, and Colonial Park. The stream flows in a westerly direction eventually joining the Susquehanna River in southern Harrisburg. The tributary Slotznick Run enters Spring Creek at Progress.[3] Spring Creek parallels the 2-mile stretch of the Cameron Parkway section of the Capital Area Greenbelt in South Harrisburg.[4] Spring Creek joins the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, just near the confluence of the Paxton Creek. The historical Rutherford Springhouse was built over a Paxtang portion of the creek in the 1740's to protect the water from poisoning by the Native Susquehannock Indians. Notably, Paxtang Park was located along the creek's banks. Tributaries
