Toby Creek is one of the “cleaner streams” in the Wyoming Valley.\u00a0 It was not heavily impacted by mining, but it has its share of other impairments.<\/p>\n
Toby Creek begins in Dallas Township. It flows south-southeast for a short distance before turning south and then southeast. The creek then flows east-southeast alongside Pennsylvania Route 415 for a few miles, passing through Dallas Borough on the way. It then crosses Pennsylvania State Route 309 (Dallas Memorial Highway) and enters Dallas Township. At this point, it turns east for a few tenths of a mile and receives the tributary Trout Brook from the left. The creek then turns south and slightly east for a few miles, flowing not far from Pennsylvania State Route 309 and entering Kingston Township.<\/p>\n
It then turns south-southeast, crossing Pennsylvania Route 309 and receiving the tributary Huntsville Creek from the right. At this point, the creek enters a water gap, flowing very close to Pennsylvania State Route 309. After several tenths of a mile, it gradually turns northeast and then turns south-southeast, briefly passing through Courtdale Borough and into Luzerne Borough, where it exits the water gap. After several tenths of a mile, the creek turns south, crossing Pennsylvania State Route 309 and entering Pringle Borough, where it is funneled underneath the several municipalities from the surface. Toby Creek then flows through an underground culvert system beginning in Pringle Borough, but daylights again, in Edwardsville Borough, where it outlets to the surface behind the K-Mart Shopping Plaza and flows west for a few tenths of a mile before turning south and then south-southwest. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, it reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River on the border between Edwardsville and Larksville Borough.<\/p>\n
