It is approximately {{convert|3.3|mi|km}} long and flows through Franklin Township and Exeter Township.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of {{convert|2.24|sqmi|km2}}. The creek is not designated as impaired and its drainage basin is a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The surficial geology in its vicinity consists of Wisconsinan Till, Wisconsinan Outwash, Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift, alluvium, alluvial fan, and bedrock. CourseDymond Creek begins in a valley in Franklin Township. It flows east for a short distance before turning northeast and entering Exeter Township and the census-designated place of Upper Exeter. The creek then passes through a small lake and turns east for several tenths of a mile before turning northeast for several tenths of a mile. After that, it gradually turns east and then south-southeast. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, the creek turns east-northeast, leaves its valley, and crosses Pennsylvania Route 92. After a few tenths of a mile, it reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River.[1] Dymond Creek joins the Susquehanna River {{convert|204.98|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2] Hydrology, geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Dymond Creek is {{convert|551|ft|m}} above sea level.[3] The elevation of the creek's source is between {{convert|980|and|1000|ft|m|0}} above sea level.[1] The surficial geology in the vicinity of Dymond Creek consists mainly of a till known as Wisconsinan Till, alluvium, Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift, and bedrock containing sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone, shale, and coal. However, Wisconsinan Outwash containing stratified sand and gravel occurs near the creek's mouth and there are a few patches of alluvial fan near the lower and middle reaches.[4] The entire length of Dymond Creek attains its designated uses and thus is not designated as an impaired waterbody.[5] Watershed and biologyThe watershed of Dymond Creek has an area of {{convert|2.24|sqmi|km2}}.[2] The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Ransom. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Center Moreland.[3] There are possible problem areas with regards to flooding on Dymond Creek. However, a feasibility study on mitigating this hazard is ranked as low-priority in the Bi-County Hazard Mitigation Plan created for Luzerne County and Lackawanna County.[6] The drainage basin of Dymond Creek is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[7] The designated use of the creek is aquatic life.[5] HistoryDymond Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1198683.[3] See also
