The name is derived in Spanish, meaning "herd". The creek is born in Fort Indiantown Gap, East Hanover Township, flowing northwest through Blue Mountain. As it flows through East Hanover Township, supporting popular ranges of fishing during spring seasons, it then meets Walnut Run. The watershed drains approximately 82 sq mi (213 km), including areas of farmland and heavily forested areas.[2][3]
Manada Creek joins the Swatara Creek along the outskirts of the unincorporated community of Sand Beach.
