Pithole Creek enters the Allegheny at the river village of Oleopolis. It flows north and south. The stream bears the same name as the ghost town Pithole. It was oil boom town during the 1860's.
Pithole Creek can be accessed from sr1005 the Oleopolis road, sr1004 the Eagle Rock road, and sr1006 which leads to Pithole City. All these roads have intersections on route 227 between Rouseville and Pleasantville. Rouseville is on route 8 north of Oil City about 3 miles.
Access to Pithole is possible from Plank road which connects sr1006 at Pithole City with the West Pithole road. Plank parallels to the stream for a few miles. You may want to visit Pithole Museum while you are here.
Pithole is usually stocked twice a year. Bait fishing is the usual method on Pithole but there are occasional hatches of Sulfurs and Cahills.
