Don't expect to catch any lunkers, though. :-) There is a Swatara township in the northern part of Lebanon County. The Swatara creek runs along the western border of Swatara Township and then runs along the northern border of North Annville Township. There are on-line maps that will show the exact location of both the township and the creek, which eventually flows into Dauphin County and into the Susquehanna river. I do not know the exact length of the Swatara creek, but it enters Lebanon County from Schuylkill County and flows across the northern part of Lebanon County.
