It is approximately Шаблон:Convert long and flows through Shamokin Township.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of Шаблон:Convert. The stream is not designated as an impaired waterbody and it has a relatively high level of water quality. It is a small, shallow stream and its watershed is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. A few bridges have been constructed across the stream.
Course
Bennys Run begins in a pond in Shamokin Township. It flows northeast for a few tenths of a mile before turning east-northeast and flowing through a valley. Over the next few miles, the stream receives four unnamed tributaries from the left and one unnamed tributary from the right. It then turns north-northeast for a few tenths of a mile before crossing Pennsylvania Route 61 and reaching its confluence with Shamokin Creek.[1]
Bennys Run joins Shamokin Creek Шаблон:Convert upstream of its mouth.[2]
Hydrology
Bennys Run is not designated as an impaired waterbody.[3] The engineering department of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation once received an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater into the stream for construction purposes.[4] However, in 2005 and 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection received complaints about untreated sewage discharge into the creek. The estimated flow of sewage into the stream was Шаблон:Convert per day.[5]
Bennys Run has a relatively high level of water quality.[6] It is not impacted by mining.[7]
Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Bennys Run is Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[8] The elevation of the stream's source is between Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[1]
Bennys Run is a small and shallow stream situated in Irish Valley.[9][10] It flows in a generally easterly direction.[9]
Watershed
The watershed of Bennys Run has an area of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Shamokin. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Trevorton.[8] The watershed borders several other watersheds, including the Little Shamokin Creek watershed, the Lick Run watershed, and the lower Shamokin Creek watershed.[7]
A road known as Irish Valley Road runs alongside Bennys Run for some distance. There are areas of rural land in the vicinity of the stream.[5]

A concrete tee beam bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 61 over Bennys Run was built in 1947. It is Шаблон:Convert long and is situated Шаблон:Convert north of Weigh Scales. In 1967, a prestressed box beam or girders bridge was built over the stream Шаблон:Convert west of Weigh Scales in 1967. It is Шаблон:Convert long and carries State Route 4026. A concrete culvert bridge carrying State Route 4026 was built across the stream in 1996. This bridge is located Шаблон:Convert west of Weigh Scales and is Шаблон:Convert long.[11]
Biology
The drainage basin of Bennys run is designated as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[13]
