The Otselic River (aht-SEEL-ik) is a 55.4-mile-long (89.2 km) tributary of the Tioughnioga River in central New York in the United States. It drains a mountainous area, mostly forested and agricultural, east of the Finger Lakes at the northern edge of the Susquehanna River watershed.
It rises in southwestern Madison County, northeast of Georgetown, and flows southwest, past Georgetown, Otselic, and Cincinnatus. It joins the Tioughnioga River from the northeast at Whitney Point, where it is impounded to form Whitney Point Reservoir.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
