West Canada Creek

West Canada Creek

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 was a major tourist attraction in the past.

History

In 1863, William H. Seward, then Secretary of State to Abraham Lincoln, met with representatives of foreign nations at Trenton Falls to persuade them not to recognize the Confederacy.
