Chittenango Creek is a small river in central New York, USA. Chittenango Creek flows northward through Chittenango into Oneida Lake near the community of Bridgeport and partially forms the boundary between Onondaga County and Madison County. This river originates at Cazenovia Lake and serves as an outlet for the lake.
The Chittenango Creek watershed comprises about 290 square miles (750 km2) of drainage in Madison and Onondaga Counties. The median annual flow is estimated at about 300 cubic feet per second (8.5 m3/s).
Famous quotes containing the word creek:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
