Waterport Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

human settlement in Carlton, New York, United States of America

About Waterport

Strictly speaking, Waterport is the tiny hamlet located at the spot where Route 279 crosses the Oak Orchard River at Lake Alice. The surrounding town is called Carlton, but since the post office is in Waterport, mail is addressed to that location, and residents throughout the township consider themselves to live in Waterport. Unlike other Western New York villages with "-port" in their names, Waterport isn't on theErie Canal. Instead, it's on the Oak Orchard River (also known as Oak Orchard Creek), just upstream from the dam that creates Lake Alice.
