Oak Orchard Creek, National Natural Landmark and river in Orleans County, United States
Oak Orchard Creek flows northward from Genesee County through Orleans County, forming a tributary that connects to Lake Ontario at Point Breeze.
The creek and surrounding areas influenced early settlement patterns in western New York, supporting agricultural development and water-powered industries.
The Oak Orchard Creek Marsh serves as a migration pathway for numerous bird species, creating opportunities for wildlife observation and environmental education.
The lower sections of Oak Orchard Creek maintain ice-free conditions throughout winter due to the Waterport hydroelectric plant operations.
The creek system incorporates a 600-acre marshland that received National Natural Landmark designation in 1973 for its ecological features.
