Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox river Cider Run is a tributary of Sutton Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately Шаблон:Convert long and flows through Franklin Township.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of Шаблон:Convert. The stream sometimes experiences flooding, but this rarely causes significant damage. Numerous macroinvertebrate species have been observed in the creek.
Course
Cider Run begins in a valley in Franklin Township near the Luzerne County/Wyoming County line. It flows east-northeast for a few tenths of a mile before turning east-southeast. After a few tenths of a mile, it turns south and its valley becomes narrower. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, the stream receives an unnamed tributary from the right and then turns southeast. After several tenths of a mile, it reaches its confluence with Sutton Creek.[1]
Cider Run joins Sutton Creek Шаблон:Convert upstream of its mouth.[2]

There are palustrine forested wetlands along an unnamed tributary to Cider Run.[8]
In a 2012 study, 173 individual macroinvertebrates from 20 taxa were observed on Cider Run.[9] These taxa included four caddisfly genera, three stonefly genera, two beetle genera, and two cranefly genera. Other taxa included the aquatic worm genus Oligochaeta, the crayfish genus Orconectes, the dragonfly genus Aeshna, the hellgrammite genus Corydalus, the riffle beetle genus Dubiraphia, the scud genus Crangonyx, and the midge family Chironomidae.[9]
