Yellow Breeches Creek

Yellow Breeches Creek Water Trail

The world-renowned limestone stream, Yellow Breeches Creek, originates on South Mountain, in Michaux State Forest, Cumberland Valley, near Walnut Bottom. From there, the Yellow Breeches meanders through the Valley's farmland, forested areas, and suburbs, and joins the Susquehanna River near New Cumberland. The main stem of the Yellow Breeches is some 49 miles long & 60 feet wide at its middle stretch.
