Conodoguinet Creek is a 104-mile-long (167 km)[1] tributary of the Susquehanna River in south central Pennsylvania in the United States.[2] The name is Native American, and means "A Long Way with Many Bends".[3]
Conodoguinet Creek joins the Susquehanna River upstream of Harrisburg.[2]
The water divide between Conodoguinet Creek and Conococheague Creek is sometimes used as the boundary between the Hagerstown Valley and the Cumberland Valley. It flows past many mills, including Maclay's Mill. The Appalachian Trail crosses the creek near Carlisle.
Bridges
- The Ramp Covered Bridge crosses Conodoguinet Creek at Hopewell Township in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.[4]
- There were formerly four more covered bridges over the creek, but one was destroyed by a storm ("Good Hope Mill") and the other three ("Erb's," "Orr's," and "Oyster Mill") were replaced by modern concrete bridges after they became so old as to be unreliable.
