Flat Creek is a river in Schoharie and Montgomery counties in the state of New York. It begins east of Sharon Springs and flows in a general northward direction before flowing into the Mohawk River in Sprakers. [2] Flat Creek Falls, also known as Sprakers Falls, is located on the creek by Sprakers. [3] The indians referred to the creek as Onogerreah, and the mouth of the creek as Utlogowanke. [4]: 125–127
There was formerly a stream gauge located where Hilltop Road crosses the creek. It was in service from June 24, 1992 to June 20, 1995. [5]
The land use in the Flat Creek watershed is almost entirely agricultural. The creek has poor water quality, which is most likely due to the large amount of agricultural activity. [6] [7]
Suckers can be speared and taken from the section of the creek within Montgomery County from January 1 to May 15, each year. [8]: 23
