Otsquago Creek is a river that enters the Mohawk River in Fort Plain, New York. Otsquago is a Mohawk Indian word meaning 'under the bridge,' probably referring to an early bridge of felled trees along the creek, a way of making small bridges.[4] It is also referred to as Otsquage on old maps, which is an Indian word for 'healing waters'.

The source of the Otsquago Creek is about 12 miles southeast from its outlet, 1,360 feet above sea level and about 1,000 feet above the Mohawk River, in a marshy field by Van Hornesville, New York.[5] Creamery Falls and Van Hornesville Falls are two waterfalls on the creek near Van Hornesville.
