Fenton Run is a 2.14 mi (3.44 km) long 1st order tributary to Bilger Run in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. It is the only stream with this name in the United States.[1]

Like all of the other tributaries flowing into Kratzer Run, Fenton Run has been impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD). Over the past thirty years, however, stream conditions have improved, and Fenton Run now supports fish life.[6]
