Tulpehocken Creek Description

Tulpehocken Creek is a tributary of the Schuylkill River, approximately 24 mi (40 km) long, in southeastern Pennsylvania in the United States. An important transportation route in the early United States, the creek drains a limestone hill country area of Berks County south of the Appalachian Mountains and is considered one of the finest trout streams in southeastern Pennsylvania. The valley of the creek was known in colonial times as the Tulpehocken, stretching west of Reading. It was inhabited by the Lenape and was a destination for early German-speaking settlers. The name comes from a Lenape word Tulpewikaki, meaning "land of turtles." It is a designated Pennsylvania Scenic River.
