These are streams that empty directly into the Susquehanna River but were not large enough (in terms of the mills on their path) to be given separate treatment.
Conewago Creek
The Conewago Creek is a 23-mile-long tributary of the Susquehanna River. Its source is in Mount Gretna Heights in Lebanon County, and it flows into the Susquehanna just north of the village of Falmouth in Conoy Township, Lancaster County. Its name is derived from the Lenape language meaning “at the rapids”. The Conewago forms the boundary between Lancaster and Dauphin counties.
There were several mills on the Conewago, but only one was on the Lancaster County side.

It enters the Susquehanna River just north of the Conowingo dam.
