Bald Eagle Creek is a 55.2-mile-long tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River, mostly in Centre County, Pennsylvania. It flows through the Bald Eagle Valley at the foot of the Bald Eagle Mountain ridge to Lock Haven. A shorter Bald Eagle Creek runs south from the same area and ends in the Little Juniata River in Tyrone. The main line of the Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad runs along the full length of both creeks. Interstate 80 crosses the creek between Snow Shoe and Bellefonte, and U.S. Route 322 crosses between Port Matilda and State College. Much of the Nittany Valley drains to the creek through water gaps in the Bald Eagle Mountain ridge. Along the creek in Unionville is the Fisher Farm site, a significant archaeological location.
