Chittenango Creek Flow Around Cazenovia

Cazenovia Lake flows south into the Chittenango Creek, then flows north through the Chittenango Gorge north to both the Old Erie Canal and the Oneida Lake. But that's not the only thing werid of the Chittenango Creek - it flows south from a farm pond on Mutton Hill, south to Nelson Swamp before turning north outside of Juddsville.
