Cattaraugus Creek
Cattaraugus Creek is a stream, approximately long, in western New York in the United States.〔〔Kirby, C.D. (1976). ''The Early History of Gowanda and The Beautiful Land of the Cattaraugus''. Gowanda, NY: Niagara Frontier Publishing Company, Inc./Gowanda Area Bi-Centennial Committee, Inc.〕〔''Historical sketch of the Village of Gowanda, N.Y. in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of its incorporation, August 8, 1898''. Buffalo, NY: The Matthews-Northrup Company, Leonard, I.R., Reprinted 1998, Salem, MA: Higginson Book Company.〕〔(Gravel mining; Summary of permits for mining activities in the Cattaraugus Creek watershed ), ''Cattaraugus Creek watershed resource guide and proposed watershed planning strategy'', 2006, Boyer, B., Carpenter, B., Renschler, C., & Kellam, R.V., Funded by: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes National Program Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District, Retrieved 21 June 2014.〕 The creek drains a wooded rural portion of western New York southwest of Buffalo into Lake Erie.〔〔〔 In its lower course it flows primarily through the Cattaraugus Reservation of the Seneca tribe.〔〔〔 The word ''Cattaraugus'' is derived from the Seneca word ''Gah-ta-ra-ke-ras'', meaning "stinking shore" or "foul-smelling river bank." This name is a result of the natural gas that oozes from the river mud.
==Description==
The creek rises in Java Lake in Wyoming County. In the village of Arcade it is joined by Clear Creek. It flows westward out of Wyoming County to the hamlet of Yorkshire, where the creek becomes the boundary between Erie County to the north and Cattaraugus County to the south.〔 Near Springville, the creek is impounded by the Scoby Dam. From Springville to Gowanda, Cattaraugus Creek passes through the Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area.〔 This conservation zone is a favorite recreation area for fishing and rafting. The South Branch of Cattaraugus Creek originates in East Otto and flows northwest to Cattaraugus Creek along the Persia-Otto town line, joining the main creek just east of Gowanda, a village which straddles the main stem of the creek and is thereby in two counties.〔 Along its lower course Cattaraugus Creek flows past the hamlet of Versailles, on the south bank of the creek in the Cattaraugus Reservation.〔 For its final miles, the creek forms the border between Erie County and Chautauqua County, then flows into Lake Erie by Sunset Bay in the town of Hanover in Chautauqua County.〔
