Course
Codorus Creek rises on Beecher Hill in Manheim Township, just north of the Pennsylvania-Maryland line and the town of Lineboro, Maryland. The initial stretch of the stream, sometimes known as the West Branch, flows northwest to Menges Mills, then turns northeast and flows past Spring Grove and New Salem to a junction with the South Branch approximately upstream of the Pennsylvania Route 182 crossing. The Army Corps of Engineers Indian Rock Dam, a flood control project, is located approximately upstream of the confluence with the South Branch. Codorus Creek then flows for to join the Susquehanna River near the community of Saginaw, passing through the center of the city of York along the way.Efforts are underway to create the Codorus Creek water trail. Trails are planned for the main branch from Indian Rock to near the confluence with the Susquehanna and the South and West branches.
