A portion of the creek flows through Evansburg State Park and passes by the census-designated place of Skippack.[2]
Skippack is a Native American name purported to mean "a pool of stagnant water".[3]
It is stocked with brown and rainbow trout; other fish in the creek include smallmouth bass, catfish, sucker, carp, panfish, and freshwater eel.
