in the 19th century, as of 2008 the Larrys Creek watershed is 83.1% forest and 15.7% agricultural.
The named tributaries within the watershed are presented here in three lists. Larrys Creek itself has 18 named tributaries, which are the subject of the first list. The First Fork and Second Fork of Larrys Creek are the two main tributaries of Larrys Creek, and they have multiple tributaries of their own. The second list gives the First Fork's eight named tributaries, and the third list gives the Second Fork's nine named tributaries. Finally there are seven named streams in the watershed which are tributaries of tributaries of the three main branches, and they are presented after each list. There is one such stream for Larrys Creek itself, two for the First Fork, and four for the Second Fork. There are also tributaries without names, but they are not included in these lists.
Each list follows the same format. The first column gives the name—27 of the tributaries are named streams, while the remaining 15 are unnamed streams in named valleys: i.e. 13 hollows, one cove

. Tributaries which are themselves unnamed, but which are in a named valley are given the name of the feature in quotation marks, for example: "Pond Hollow". The first column also notes whether the tributary enters its parent stream on the right bank or left bank. The second column in each list gives the river mile

(SGL) No. 114 and flows through Mifflin and Anthony Townships, passing between Coal Mountain and Harris Point. From Mifflin Township it enters the borough of Salladasburg, where it receives the Second Fork, and just south of the borough the First Fork joins the creek. These two largest tributaries drain parts of Pine, Cogan House, Cummings, and Mifflin Townships (there are named streams in the Larrys Creek watershed in all but Pine Township). Piatt Township is the last municipality the creek flows through and it enters the West Branch Susquehanna River there.
The five largest direct tributaries in the Larrys Creek watershed are the First and Second Forks of Larrys Creek, Roaring Run, Wendell Run and Wolf Run. The Second Fork of Larrys Creek is the largest tributary, with a watershed of 24.9 square miles (64.5 km²) or 28.0% of the total watershed. The First Fork is next largest, with a watershed of 17.6 square miles (45.6 km²) or 19.8% of the total. Roaring Run accounts for 5.7% of the total watershed (5.1 square miles or 13.2 km2) and other tributaries are less than 5% of the total area.

First Fork tributaries
The First Fork is the second largest tributary and has its source in Cummings Township. It flows south-southeast passing to the southwest of Little Round Top and Puterbaugh Mountain, then leaves the dissected Allegheny Plateau at Fishery Point. It then enters Mifflin Township, where it joins Larrys Creek just south of Salladasburg, 4.2 miles (6.8 km) from the mouth. Historically, much of the First Fork was protected as part of the Ogontz Lodge, a private hunting and fishing club.The four largest tributaries of the First Fork are: Tarkiln Run with a watershed of 2.71 square miles (7 km²) or 15.4% of the First Fork watershed; Mud Run with 2.22 square miles (5.75 km2 or 12.6%); Dog Run with 1.82 square miles (4.71 km2 or 10.3%); and Marsh Run with 0.96 square miles (2.49 km2 or 5.5%). All other tributaries are less than 5% of the total area.

Second Fork tributaries
The Second Fork is the largest tributary and rises in Cogan House Township near the village of White Pine. It runs south through the village of Brookside, then along the east side of Henson Ridge and Puterbaugh Mountain through Cummings and Mifflin Townships. It leaves the dissected Allegheny Plateau at Clapp Point and ends in Salladasburg, where it joins Larrys Creek 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from the mouth. In 1851 a plank road was built from the mouth along Larrys Creek to Salladasburg, then followed the Second Fork as far as the village of English Centre in Pine Township. There was also a spur along the First Fork into Anthony Township and perhaps further. An 1889 flood destroyed much of the plank road, and it ceased operation as a toll road in 1900. Today Pennsylvania Route 287Pennsylvania Route 287
Pennsylvania Route 287 is a long state highway in the Tioga Valley of Pennsylvania. Route 287 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 220 in the community of Larrys Creek in Piatt Township, Lycoming County to an intersection with Pennsylvania Route 49 just south of the New York state line...
follows its course along the entire length of the Second Fork. Over 6000 acres (2,428.1 ha) along it belongs to the private "Larrys Creek Fish and Game Club".
The three largest tributaries of the Second Fork are: Lawshe Run with a watershed of 3.39 square miles (8.8 km²) or 13.6% of the Second Fork watershed; Funston Run with 2.50 square miles (6.48 km2 or 10.0%); and Little Harbor Run with 2.14 square miles (5.54 km2 or 8.6%). All other tributaries are less than 5% of the total area.
