Cripple Creek is a small river in New York. It flows through parts of Herkimer County and Otsego County. This creek is about 2.1 mi (3.4 km) long.
It starts at Weaver Lake near a place called Warren. From there, it flows through another body of water known as Young Lake. Finally, Cripple Creek empties into Otsego Lake. This happens south of Springfield, New York. Long ago, this creek was known by a different name: Lawyers Creek.
The Creek's Journey
Cripple Creek continues its path through a small body of water called Clarke Pond. After passing through Clarke Pond, the creek flows directly into Otsego Lake. This lake is a popular spot in the region.
