The Otselic River (aht-SEEL-ik) is a 55.4-mile-long (89.2 km) tributary of the Tioughnioga River in central New York in the United States. It drains a mountainous area, mostly forested and agricultural, east of the Finger Lakes at the northern edge of the Susquehanna River watershed.
It rises in southwestern Madison County, northeast of Georgetown, and flows southwest, past Georgetown, Otselic, and Cincinnatus. It joins the Tioughnioga River from the northeast at Whitney Point, where it is impounded to form Whitney Point Reservoir.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“I cannot tell how many times we had to walk on account of falls or rapids. We were expecting all the while that the river would take a final leap and get to smooth water, but there was no improvement this forenoon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
