Chittenango Creek is a small river in central New York, United States.[1] The creek partially forms the boundary between Onondaga County and Madison County.

Course
Chittenango Creek originates in Nelson Swamp in the town of Fenner in Madison County.[2][1] It receives the outflow for Cazenovia Lake near the village of Cazenovia. From there it flows northward, passing over a 167-foot (51 m) waterfall in Chittenango Falls State Park[3] before flowing through the village of Chittenango. The creek flows out into Oneida Lake near the community of Bridgeport.
