Dark Hollow Run is a small stream, also called a tributary, located entirely within Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It flows into the larger Delaware River just south of the town of New Hope.

About Dark Hollow Run

Dark Hollow Run is a short stream that helps feed the mighty Delaware River. A tributary is like a smaller branch that flows into a bigger river. This stream is found only in Solebury Township, which is part of Bucks County in Pennsylvania.

Where Does it Start and End?

The stream begins its journey south of Aquetong Road. At this point, it is about 300 feet (91 meters) above sea level. From there, Dark Hollow Run flows for about 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers). It then meets the Delaware River, where the elevation is much lower, around 62 feet (19 meters) above sea level. This difference in height means the stream has a noticeable slope, dropping about 154.55 feet for every mile it travels.

Places it Flows Through

Dark Hollow Run is located entirely within one county and one township:

• Bucks County
