Schwaben Creek is a tributary of Mahanoy Creek in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[3] Schwaben Creek is approximately 12.4 miles (20.0 km) long.[4][2] The creek has two named tributaries, which both join Schwaben Creek fairly close to its mouth. The tributaries are called Middle Creek and Mouse Creek. Schwaben Creek flows through Upper Mahanoy Township, Washington Township, and Jackson Township. Nearly all of the creek's watershed is devoted to agricultural land and forests, although there is some development. Painted furniture was also made in the Schwaben Creek valley in the 18th and 19th centuries. The creek is in the ridge-and-valley geographical province.
