East Canada Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Canada Creek is a 34.6-mile-long (55.7 km)[1] river in upstate New York, USA. It is a tributary of the Mohawk River and flows southward from the Adirondack Park in that state. Part of the creek forms the boundary between Herkimer County and Fulton County and Montgomery County. It also flows through the Village of Dolgeville, which is at the border of the two counties. Tha name "Canada" is derived from the native word "Kanata," meaning "village."
The creek is formed near Powley Place in the Town of Arietta in Hamilton County, where it is created by the confluence of smaller streams.
