It is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and flows through Ransom Township in Lackawanna County and Duryea in Luzerne County. The river basin has an area of ​​1.25 square miles (3.2 km 2 ). It is designated as a Coldwater Fishing and Fishing Migration. This river has an unnamed tributary. Many river reaches have been affected by abandoned mining and mines. The surrounding geology of surfology has alluvium, coal dumps, surface mining areas, and Wisconsinan Till.

Course Edit
Red Spring Run starts at the foot of the mountain in Ransom Township, Lackawanna County. It flows south for some tenths of a mile before turning south-southeast for a short distance. The river then turns south again, out of Lackawanna County and into Duryea, Luzerne County. It turned southwest for a few tenths of a mile before turning south-southwest for a few tenths of a mile. Then receive an unnamed stream from the right and reach his encounter with the Lackawanna River.
Red Spring Run joins the Lackawanna River 1.84 miles (2.96 km) above its mouth.

Geography and geology Edit
The altitude near the Red Spring Run estuary is 551 feet (168 m) above sea level. The height of the river is between 1.020 and 1.040 feet (310 and 320 m) above sea level.
The Red Spring Run waters contribute to the flood of gravel holes left behind near Coxton. This pit is locally known as Duryea Swamps. Red Spring Run and its unnamed tributaries, both started in the spring on the mountain known as the West Mountain. In the upstream, the flow drops sharply until it reaches the floodplain of the Lackawanna River.
As it flows downstream, the Red Spring Run quickly becomes affected by the mines left behind. Some parts of the river flows have been destroyed either by mining or post-mining construction. The lower region is also affected by mining. The flow began to lose its flow upstream from Sand and Gravel Airport. Her mouth is in a concrete culvert.
Hulu Red Spring Run is on the border between Llewellyn Formation and Pocono Formation. Surficial geology near the downstream of the river consists mainly of alluvium (which contains sand, mud, and gravel layers, as well as several stones) and coal disposal. Further upstream, surfing geology mostly has land that has been mined on the surface for coal, with some coal discharges to the east. Near the headwaters, there are surface mining lands as well as glacial or resedimented until it is known as Wisconsinan Till.
Dasur Edit
The Red Spring Run basin has an area of ​​1.25 square miles (3.2 km 2 ). Watersheds are located in the southwest part of the Lackawanna River Basin and downstream of the watershed. This flow is entirely within the collection of the United States Geological Survey at Pittston.
Red Spring Run is a small second order flow. It is one of the last creeks entering the Lackawanna River.
In one location, Red Spring Run flows through a small residential area that is part of the Connells Patch environment.
History and industry Edit
Red Spring Run was incorporated into the Geographic Name Information System on August 2, 1979. The identifier in the Geographic Name Information System is 1184798.
The Lackawanna River Watershed Conservation Plan also recommends that Ransom Township and the Duryea region include Red Spring Run protection in their comprehensive plan, as well as their procedures for land use, zoning and sharing.
The Popple Brothers Colliery (formerly known as Babylon Breaker) operates around Red Spring Run. Sand and Gravel Airport has active dock permit (# 40900304) in the watershed. Lehigh Valley railways have historically crossed the river near its mouth and rail corridors still exist.
Biology Edit
The Red Spring Run drainage basin is designated as a Coldwater Fishing and Fishing Migration.
