Hall Run is a small stream, about 7.68 mi (12.36 km) long. It is located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Hall Run is a 'tributary,' which means it's a smaller stream that flows into a larger river. This stream flows into the Youghiogheny River. Sometimes, people have also called it Hall's Run or Halls Run.

Where Hall Run Starts and Ends

Hall Run begins in a place called Fiketown, Pennsylvania. From there, it flows generally towards the east.

Its journey ends when it joins the Youghiogheny River. This meeting point is in the Youghiogheny River Lake, near a town called Somerfield.

The Hall Run Watershed

A watershed is like a big bowl where all the rain and snow that falls drains into a specific river or stream. The Hall Run watershed covers an area of about 12.15 square miles (31.5 km2).

  • This area gets a good amount of rain, about 48.3 inches (122.7 cm) each year.
  • About 72% of the land in this watershed is covered by forests. This is important because forests help keep the water clean and healthy for plants and animals.
