- Quaker Run is a tributary of Shamokin Creek in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 3.7 miles (6.0 km) long and flows through Kulpmont, Mount Carmel Township, and Coal Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of 3.62 square miles (9.4 km2). The stream has one unnamed tributary. Quaker Run is designated as an impaired waterbody due to metals from abandoned mine drainage. Raw sewage and stormwater have also been discharged into it at times. The channel of Quaker Run is flanked by walls in some reaches. Iron precipitate is also caked thickly along the stream. However, a restoration project has restored part of the stream channel and constructed wetlands. The stream was one of the first places in the Southern and Middle Coal Fields of Pennsylvania where anthracite coal was discovered. A few bridges have also been constructed across the stream. The stream's watershed is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. It used to have much fish life, but as of 1999, it had none. (en)
