Creek, a section of the creek contained 49 percent riffles, 33 percent runs, and 18 percent pools. Further downstream, an section of the creek contained 32 percent riffles, 32 percent runs, and 36 percent pools. In the lower reaches, a reach of Green Creek contained 17 percent riffles, 17 percent runs, and 66 percent pools. Historically, a large whirlpool known as the Spinning Wheel or the Witch's Kettle existed on Green Creek approximately south of Rohrsburg. It is believed to have been approximately wide and over deep. During the late 19th century, trash from Orangeville and Rohrsburg was poured into the whirlpool, causing it to begin to fill up by 1900. Flooding later altered the creek's course, so now there is a road over the site of the whirlpool. During the Ice Age, ice movements may have occurred down the valley of Green Creek. Drift and cobbles are present along the creek's valley as high as above the valley floor. Coal oil has been historically observed in the vicinity of Green Creek. Watershed The watershed of Green Creek has an area of . The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Bloomsburg. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Benton. Soil erosion is a significant concern in some areas of the watershed of Green Creek. This especially includes the Greenwood Valley, which is used for agriculture relatively heavily. In 2015, there was a project to stabilize of streambanks on the creek in Jackson Township. History and etymology Green Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1176059. The creek is named for the way its waters appear greenish in color; this color is enhanced further during the summer months due to vegetation on its banks being reflected in the water. An Indian path connecting the Wyoming Valley with Muncy once existed, following Green Creek from its mouth upstream to near Rohrsburg. In 1778, Moses Van Campen headed a scouting expedition from Fort McClure to Fort Wheeler, and then to the headwaters of Green Creek, before crossing to Little Fishing Creek via Eves Swamp and eventually reaching Muncy Creek. In 1797, the four Mather brothersThomas, Samuel, John, and Williamcame from the Buffalo Valley to settle near Green Creek. Jacob Lunger came from Northampton County, Pennsylvania and settled on Green Creek
