Leatherstocking Creek is a small creek that flows into Otsego Lake north of Cooperstown, New York, and just south of Three Mile Point.[1]

The historic Leatherstocking Falls also known as "Panthers Leap" and "Deowongo Falls", are located on this creek. These falls are where, in James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, Leatherstocking saves the life of an Indian maiden.[2]
