Rocky Run is a small stream, also known as a tributary, that flows into Bull Creek. You can find Rocky Run in Butler County, which is located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. A tributary is like a smaller river or stream that joins a larger one.

Where Does Rocky Run Flow?

Rocky Run flows entirely within an area called Clinton Township. It begins its journey just east of Sandy Hill Road, right along Glade Mill Road. This road is part of PA Route 228.

The stream generally flows in a southeastern direction. It heads towards Allegheny County. Finally, Rocky Run empties into Bull Creek. This meeting point is near where Saxonburg Boulevard crosses Cherry Valley Road.
