West Canada Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Canada Creek is a small river in upstate New York, USA. West Canada Creek drains the south part of the Adirondack Mountains and drains into the Mohawk River near the Village of Herkimer.
West Canada Creek is an important water way in Oneida County and Herkimer County.
A dam near Trenton Falls in Oneida County helps form an artificial lake called Hinckley Reservoir, named after a community in Oneida County at its western end. A series of waterfalls on the river, named after Trenton Falls, was a major tourist attraction in the past.
