Honeoye Creek is a tributary of the Genesee River in western New York in the United States. Honeoye (pronounced ‘hʌ.ni.,ɔɪ or HONEY-oy)〔(Honeoye Lake Area Chamber of Commerce ) ''honeoyelakechamber.org'', accessed March 16, 2012.〕 is a Seneca word translated as "a lying finger," or "where the finger lies."〔(Early History of the Town of Richmond ), ''bluesom.com'', accessed March 16, 2012.〕 Honeoye Creek emerges from the north end of Honeoye Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, in Richmond, Ontario County. The hamlet of Honeoye within Richmond is located on the creek where it passes under US Route 20A. As Honeoye Creek flows northward, it is joined by the Hemlock Outlet Creek and then becomes the border between Ontario County and Livingston County. The stream flows into Monroe County, passing the village of Honeoye Falls in Mendon, where it flows over a waterfall. Honeoye Creek then continues in a westerly direction enters the Genesee River in West Rush, near Avon. Annual flow averages about 100 cubic feet per second (3 m³/s) at Honeoye Falls. ==See also== *List of rivers in New York 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honeoye Creek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
