Left Branch
The Left Branch arises in a natural gas field in Potter County. Flowing southward through Susquehannock State Park in a deep and narrow gorge, it is joined by Spring Brook and Greenlick Run, and then the Shingle Branch. Hollows made by smaller streams appear along both sides of the canyon.
The Osborne Branch arises to the west of the Left Branch in the gas field, and is soon joined by the small Scout Branch, rising further to the west, and then by the westernmost Porter Branch to form the Shingle Branch and enter Sproul State Forest. The Shingle Branch is at first somewhat crooked and marked by hollows, but the lower part of its course is straight and steep to the junction with the Left Branch.
South of the confluence, Mudlick Run is the last named tributary before the Left Branch exits the State Forest and joins the Right Branch.

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or branch:
“Women who assume authority are unnatural. Unnatural women are lesbians. Therefore all the leaders of the women’s movement were presumed to be lesbians.”
—Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 8 (1980)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
