The Paxton Creek watershed covers an area of {{convert|27.4|sqmi}} and joins the Susquehanna River at South Harrisburg, Harrisburg.[4] The name Paxton, or Paxtang, is derived the Susquehannock term "Peshtank", meaning "where the waters stand" or "the place of springs". It is born from two branches on the southern slopes of Blue Mountain to form the main stem in Lower Paxton Township. It then forms Wildwood Lake in Susquehanna Township, then becoming a concrete channel downstream at Harrisburg to mitigate urban runoff and flooding. Tributaries
