Pike County Watersheds
In Pennsylvania 95% of our land drains into three major watersheds, The Delaware, The Susquehanna and The Ohio, and parts of three others, The Genesee, The Potomac, and Lake Erie. These watersheds are so large they are generally referred to as "basins" rather than watersheds. 

In Pike County, there are eighteen sub-basins or watersheds which are all part of the overall Delaware River Basin. Each of Pike's eighteen watersheds are made up of smaller watershed drainages.
