It is approximately {{convert|4.1|mi|km}} long and flows through Bethlehem Township and Freemansburg.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of approximately {{convert|6.14|sqmi|km2}}. It is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and has been home to trout and a diverse macroinvertebrate community. CourseNancy Run begins near the Green Pond Golf Course in Bethlehem Township. It flows southwest for several tenths of a mile before turning south-southwest for several tenths of a mile, crossing Easton Ave. The stream then receives an unnamed tributary from the left and turns west for some distance before entering the census-designated place of Middletown. It then turns south for a while before turning south-southwest and entering Freemansburg. Here, it turns south for a few tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with the Lehigh River.[1] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Nancy Run is {{convert|220|ft|m}} above sea level.[2] The elevation near the source of the stream is approximately {{convert|382|ft|m}} above sea level.[1] The Lehigh Canal crosses Nancy Run.[3] Near Nancy Run, "one of the best" beds of stromatolitic Limeport beds in eastern Pennsylvania is exposed.[4] Hydrology and watershedThe watershed of Nancy Run has an area of {{convert|6.14|sqmi|km2}}. The part of the watershed that lies above its unnamed tributary has an area of only {{convert|1.40|sqmi|km2}}.[5] Nancy Run is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Nazareth.[2] At its mouth, the peak annual discharge of Nancy Run has a 10 percent chance of reaching {{convert|3605|cuft/s|m3/s}}. It has a 2 percent chance of reaching {{convert|4019|cuft/s|m3/s}} and a 1 percent chance of reaching {{convert|4291|cuft/s|m3/s}}. The peak annual discharge has a 0.2 percent chance of reaching {{convert|4547|cuft/s|m3/s}}.[5] Above its unnamed tributary, the peak annual discharge of Nancy Run has a 10 percent chance of reaching {{convert|1022|cuft/s|m3/s}}. It has a 2 percent chance of reaching {{convert|1153|cuft/s|m3/s}} and a 1 percent chance of reaching {{convert|1216|cuft/s|m3/s}}. The peak annual discharge has a 0.2 percent chance of reaching {{convert|1297|cuft/s|m3/s}}.[5] HistoryNancy Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 30, 1990 due to its presence on a 1975 county highway map published by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1211971. The stream is also known as Nancys Run.[2] This variant name appears in a 1939 geological survey of Northampton County by Benjamin L. Miller et al..[6] Nancy Run was named for an old woman named Nancy who historically lived in a log cabin on the creek and was well known as a fortune teller.[7][8] In the early 1800s, there was a large tavern on the stream.[9] The community of Freemansburg, which is located at the mouth of the stream, was incorporated in 1856.[10] Two steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridges carrying Washington Street and Keystone Street were built over Nancy Run near Freemansburg in 1930. In 1938, a concrete culvert bridge carrying State Route 3007 was constructed over the stream. A steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying Middletown Road was constructed over the creek in 1958, and in 1960, a prestressed box beam or girders bridge carrying State Route 3007 was built over the creek. Three concrete culvert bridges were built over Nancy Run in 2000; one carried Tenth Street in Nancy Run Estates and the other two carried Bridge Lane and Washington Street in the Emerald Hills Development.[11] In 2014, the Northampton County Conservation District received a $5000 grant from the Coldwater Heritage Partnership to develop a Coldwater Conservation Plan for the watershed of Nancy Run.[12] BiologyWild trout naturally reproduce in Nancy Run from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.[13] Upstream of a State Route 3007 bridge, the creek's watershed is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. Below this point, it is designated as a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[14] The stream is designated as Class A Wild Trout Waters for brown trout in its lower {{convert|1.6|mi|km}}.[15] In the 1990s, Nancy Run was found to support a benthic ecosystem of high biodiversity, including one sensitive species. The stream also supported a number of fish species. However, a proposed highway extension was believed to potentially impact biodiversity by releasing organic and inorganic pollutants into the stream, although they would not have been directly impacted by the construction.[16] Macroinvertebrate taxa found in Nancy Run in the 1970s include Oligochaeta, sowbugs, scuds, mayflies, caddisflies, beetles, Diptera (flies/midges), blackflies, and snails.[16]See also
