Wallenpaupack is from the Unami language and has been interpreted as "deep, dead water" or "the stream of swift and slow water."[2]
Approximately 13 miles (21 km) of the lower Wallenpaupack Creek lies buried beneath Lake Wallenpaupack, a reservoir created when the utility PPL Corporation (PP&L) dammed the creek in 1926 as a water supply for a 44-megawatt hydroelectric power plant.[2] The dividing line between the lake and the creek is the Ledgedale Road bridge. See map.[3]
The 5.2-mile-long (8.4 km)[1] East Branch joins the main branch at the community of Greentown in Pike County.[2]
The 4.2-mile-long (6.8 km)[1] tributary Bridge Creek joins the East Branch approximately 1.3 miles (2.1 km) before the latter joins the main branch.[2]

The 15.0-mile-long (24.1 km)[1] West Branch joins the main branch several miles downstream of the East Branch, approximately midway between Interstate 84 and Ledgedale Road SR4001.[2]
