Watersheds are ‘the area of land that that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet such as the outflow of a reservoir, mouth of a bay, or any point along a stream channel’.
For example, the outlet to the Six Mile Creek Watershed--in the larger Lake Ontario Watershed--is the Cayuga Lake Inlet.
The Town of Caroline falls within two major watersheds. Most of the town is in the Lake Ontario Watershed, draining via Six Mile, Cascadilla, and Fall Creeks to Cayuga Lake and then northward to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence. The southeast portion of the town drains southward via the West Branch of Owego Creek to the Susquehanna River and then to Chesapeake Bay.
