Black Moshannon Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Moshannon Creek is a tributary of Moshannon Creek in Centre County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
The name Moshannon is said to be derived from the Native American "Moss-Hanne," meaning "moose stream." Historically, Black Moshannon Creek was also known as "Little Moshannon Creek."
Black Moshannon Creek is born atop the Allegheny Plateau from clear springs and small streams which flow through bogs that form the watershed for 250 acre Black Moshannon Lake in Black Moshannon State Park. From the lake, the creek drops off the Plateau and joins Moshannon Creek 17.2 miles (27.7 km) later, downstream of the community of Moshannon.
A stout at Otto's Pub & Brewery is named "Black Mo" after the creek.
