The spring is located downhill from the Bake Oven Knob shelter on the Appalachian Trail in Heidelberg Township in Lehigh County. The water course then flows intermittently downhill past Mountain Road, carrying further south through Heidelberg Township and passing through the Trexler Nature Preserve in Schnecksville. Jordan Creek joins Little Lehigh Creek in Allentown before soon flowing into the Lehigh River. It drains an area of 75.8 square miles (196 km2).Along with Bethlehem, Egypt, and Emmaus, Jordan Creek is one several Lehigh Valley locations whose name was inspired by locations referenced in the Bible.

Roberto Clemente Charter School

Roberto Clemente Charter School is a small, urban, public charter school located in Allentown, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The school is located at 4th and Walnut Streets in Allentown. It serves students in grades 6 through 12. As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 628 students, according to National Center for Education Statistics data. Approximately 94% of the students then enrolled at Roberto Clemente Charter School were Hispanic. In 2011, Roberto Clemente Charter School applied to the Allentown School Board to broaden its program to include kindergarten through 5th grades. The application was denied by the Allentown School Board 5 against-4 vote. The Charter School's board appealed to the Pennsylvania Charter School Appeal Board, which in August 2013 reversed the Allentown School Board's denial decision, allowing the expansion of the charter school. In March 2014, Roberto Clemente Charter School reached an agreement to purchase a school building on Cedar Street in Allentown. Roberto Clemente Charter School is named for Roberto Clemente, a 12-time Gold Glove Award winner with the Pittsburgh Pirates whose Major League Baseball career was cut short by his 1972 death in a plane crash. Roberto Clemente Charter School is one of four public charter schools operating in Lehigh County in 2013. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, in 2012, there were 50,605 children in Lehigh County who were enrolled in public charter schools.
