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:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
