Moshannon Creek is a 57.4-mile-long (92.4 km) tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Centre County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Throughout its length, it serves as the boundary between Centre and Clearfield counties. Moshannon Creek, commonly called the Red Moshannon or Red Mo, is noted for its reddish-orange rocks, banks and water caused by an iron compound that precipitates out of the acidic waters that seep into the stream from numerous old coal and clay mines in the basin. While the acidity is a detriment to fish, wild cranberry appear to thrive in the environment.

Su nombre Moshannon proviene de un vocablo derivado de un pueblo americano nativo "Moss-Hanne", que significa "paso del alce". El arroyo Moshannon, comúnmente conocido como Red Moshannon o Red Mo (en español Moshannon colorado), lleva este apodo a causa del color rojizo o incluso anaranjado de las rocas que lo rodean, y a los bancos de arena y de las aguas, causado por un compuesto de hierro que precipita con el aguas ácida y que se filtra en las corrientes de las viejas minas de carbón y numerosas minas de arcilla sobre la cuenca. Si bien la acidez del agua perjudica el hábitat para los peces, los arándanos rojos silvestres se desarrollan con total normalidad en este ambiente.

Moshannon Creek is a 57.4-mile-long (92.4 km) tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Centre County, Pennsylvania in the United States. Throughout its length, it serves as the boundary between Centre and Clearfield counties. The name Moshannon is said to be derived from the Native American "Moss-Hanne," meaning "moose stream." However, as recognized by Gertler, the North American moose was not native to central Pennsylvania. More likely, the name means "elk stream" from the Lenape word Mos'hanna'unk, which means "elk river place." See Handbook of tribal names of Pennsylvania, together with signification of Indian words ; also A History of Great Council of Pennsylvania with articles pertaining to the Improved Order of Red Men by Donnalley, Thomas K. Published 1908, page 40. Moshannon Creek, commonly called the Red Moshannon or Red Mo, is noted for its reddish-orange rocks, banks and water caused by an iron compound that precipitates out of the acidic waters that seep into the stream from numerous old coal and clay mines in the basin. While the acidity is a detriment to fish, wild cranberry appear to thrive in the environment. The name Red Mo is also used to distinguish it from the smaller tributary Black Moshannon Creek which joins the Red where PA Route 53 crosses the creek. The Red Moshannon is the site of an annual canoe and kayak race known as the Red Moshannon Downriver Race which has been held on the last Saturday in March since 1967. The race course covers approximately 7 miles (11 km) from the Peale bridge near the town of Grassflat to the Rt. 53 bridge and includes several class 1 and class 2 whitewater sections. The course record is 39 minutes, 29 seconds, set in 1993 by Brad Nelson. Moshannon Creek joins the West Branch Susquehanna River, opposite an area known as Miller's Landing, approximately 3.4 miles (5.5 km) upstream of Karthaus.
