'Oatka Creek' is a major tributary of the Genesee River; it is a stream in Western New York in the United States, which enters the Genesee near Scottsville.
The length of Oatka Creek is 58 miles (92 km) and has a watershed area of 215 square miles. The creek and its water shed are part of the Genesee River watershed on its west side. Much of the Oatka Creek watershed is used for agriculture.
Oatka Creek rises in the Town of Gainsville in Wyoming County and passes through the Towns of Warsaw, Middlebury, and Covington before entering Genesee County. There the creek passes through the Towns of Pavilion, Stafford, and Le Roy before flowing into Monroe County in the Town of Wheatland.
The creek formerly had rapids and waterfalls where it crossed the Onondaga Escarpment near Le Roy, which provided water power for early mills.
