Appenzell Creek

Appenzell Creek[1] is a 11.8-mile-long (19.0 km)[2] tributary of McMichael Creek in Monroe County, Pennsylvania in the United States.

The headwaters feed into Trout Lake in Jackson Township at the Poconos. It meanders in a southwestern direction and joins McMichael Creek just above of Sciota.

The stream takes its name from Henry Pensyl, a hunter and trapper who lived in the area in the 18th century. It was originally Pensyl Creek before the name was anglicized to the current name it has today.
