Fly Creek (Oaks Creek tributary)

Fly Creek also known as Vlaie Creek, begins by the border of the Town of Otsego and Town of Springfield in Otsego County, New York.

The Fly Creek Cider Mill and Orchard is located next to Fly Creek.

The Mill gets power to make cider from the Fly Creek water flow and is the last remaining mill in the area.

One theory to the name of the creek goes that as early as 1714 Dutch traders passed through the area traveling to Otsego Lake.

The Dutch word for “marsh” is “vlie”.
