Where Does Buckwha Creek Begin?
Buckwha Creek starts in a swampy area. This swamp is located southwest of a town called Saylorsburg. From there, the creek flows towards the southwest. It runs along the northwest side of a place known as Chestnut Ridge.
Princess Lake
About five miles (or eight kilometers) after it starts, the creek is blocked by a dam. This dam creates a lake called Princess Lake. This lake is about a mile (or 1.6 kilometers) upstream from the town of Kunkletown.
