Second Fork Tributaries
The Second Fork is the largest tributary and rises in Cogan House Township near the village of White Pine. It runs south through the village of Brookside, then along the east side of Henson Ridge and Puterbaugh Mountain through Cummings and Mifflin Townships. It leaves the dissected Allegheny Plateau at Clapp Point and ends in Salladasburg, where it joins Larrys Creek 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from the mouth. In 1851 a plank road was built from the mouth along Larrys Creek to Salladasburg, then followed the Second Fork as far as the village of English Centre in Pine Township. There was also a spur along the First Fork into Anthony Township and perhaps further. An 1889 flood destroyed much of the plank road, and it ceased operation as a toll road in 1900. Today Pennsylvania Route 287 follows its course along the entire length of the Second Fork. Over 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) along it belongs to the private "Larrys Creek Fish and Game Club".
The three largest tributaries of the Second Fork are: Lawshe Run with a watershed of 3.39 square miles (8.8 km2) or 13.6% of the Second Fork watershed; Funston Run with 2.50 square miles (6.48 km2 or 10.0%); and Little Harbor Run with 2.14 square miles (5.54 km2 or 8.6%). All other tributaries are less than 5% of the total area.

Famous quotes containing the word fork:
“Every country we conquer feeds us. And these are just a few of the good things we’ll have when this war is over.... Slaves working for us everywhere while we sit back with a fork in our hands and a whip on our knees.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
