Nescopeck Mountain (also known as Nescopec Mountain) is a ridge in Columbia County and Luzerne County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. Its elevation is 1,594 feet (486 m) above sea level. The ridge is a forested ridge, with at least two types of forest and two systems of vernal pools. It is a very long and unbroken ridge with two water gaps: one carved by Catawissa Creek and one carved by Nescopeck Creek. This later gap was exploited as a transportation corridor with the construction of the Lausanne–Nescopeck Turnpike between the respective frontier communities at Lausanne Landing and Nescopeck (opposite bank from Shickshinny, PA on the Susquehanna River) in 1805 connecting the newly developing Wyoming Valley with Philadelphia and the Delaware River valley; cutting off over 100 mile

Der höchste Punkt liegt 486 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Der Bergkamm ist bewaldet, wobei mindestens zwei verschiedene Waldtypen vorhanden sind. Außerdem gibt es zwei Systeme aus nicht ständig wasserführenden Tümpeln am Fuß des Bergrückens. Es handelt sich um einen ziemlich langen und ununterbrochenen Rücken mit zwei Durchbrüchen, von denen einer durch den und der andere durch den geschnitten wurden. Zu den devonischen bis karbonischen Gesteinsschichten, die diesem Bergrücken aufbauen, gehören hauptsächlich die Sedimentgesteine der Trimmers-Rock-Formation, der Catskill-Formation, der Spechty-Kopf-Formation, der Pocono-Formation und d (de)
