It is approximately {{convert|1.6|mi|km}} long and flows through Noxen Township.[1][2] The watershed of the stream has an area of {{convert|1.68|sqmi|km2}}. The stream itself is classified as Class A Wild Trout Waters by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The surficial geology in its vicinity includes Wisconsinan Till and bedrock. CourseWindfall Run begins in a wetland on a plateau in Noxen Township. It flows north-northeast for several tenths of a mile and enters a deep valley before turning east-southeast. The stream flows in this direction for more than a mile before reaching its confluence with Baker Run.[1] Windfall Run joins Baker Run, which is itself only {{convert|1.1|mi|km}} long, {{convert|0.66|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[1][2] HydrologyThe concentration of alkalinity in Windfall Run is {{convert|4|mg/l|oz/cuft|sp=us}}.[3] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Windfall Run is {{convert|1365|ft|m}} above sea level.[4] The elevation near the source of the stream is between {{convert|2200|and|2220|ft|m|0}} above sea level.[1] The surficial geology along Windfall Run in the Dutch Mountain quadrangle, where most of the stream is situated, consists of a till known as Wisconsinan Till. However, bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale occurs on the sides of the stream's valley.[5] For much of its length, Noxen Township flows through a deep valley cut into a plateau.[10] WatershedThe watershed of Windfall Run has an area of {{convert|1.68|sqmi|km2}}.[2] The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Noxen. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Dutch Mountain.[4] The entire length of Windfall Run is on public land that is open to access.[3] The stream is situated entirely within Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 57.[6] HistoryWindfall Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1199800.[4] BiologyWild trout naturally reproduce in Windfall Run from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.[7] The stream is designated by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission as Class A Wild Trout Waters for brook trout from its headwaters downstream to its mouth.[3] See also
