Laurel Hill Creek is a 37.8-mile-long (60.8 km)[1] tributary of the Casselman River in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[2]

It is part of the Youghiogheny River watershed, flowing to the Monongahela River, the Ohio River, and ultimately the Mississippi River.

Laurel Hill Creek drains the east slope of Laurel Hill in the Laurel Highlands and flows to the appropriately named community of Confluence, where it joins the Casselman River a few yards above the Youghiogheny.[2]

Laurel Hill Creek was listed at #7 on American Rivers' "Most Endangered Rivers" list for 2009.[3]

Bridges

Barronvale Bridge, King's Bridge and Lower Humbert Covered Bridge cross Laurel Hill Creek.[4][5]
