**Big Bushkill Creek** (**Bush Kill** on federal maps[1]) is a 30.1-mile-long (48.4 km)[2] [tributary](/source/Tributary) of the [Delaware River](/source/Delaware_River) in the [Pocono Mountains](/source/Pocono_Mountains) region of [Northeastern Pennsylvania](/source/Northeastern_Pennsylvania).[3]

It originates from Pecks Pond [41°16′51″N 75°05′14″W / 41.2808°N 75.0872°W / 41.2808; -75.0872](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Big_Bushkill_Creek&params=41.2808_N_75.0872_W_) in [Pike County](/source/Pike_County%2C_Pennsylvania). It flows south, entering Pickerel Lake and then into Beaver Run Pond. Most of the stream travels through [Delaware State Forest](/source/Delaware_State_Forest) before entering [Monroe County](/source/Monroe_County%2C_Pennsylvania). It is a prominent feature of [Resica Falls Scout Reservation](/source/Resica_Falls_Scout_Reservation).

Bush Kill joins the Delaware River at the village of [Bushkill](/source/Bushkill%2C_Pennsylvania).[3]
