Owasco Inlet, located in Tompkins and Cayuga counties, is a major tributary to Owasco Lake. The Inlet begins in Tompkins County southeast of the hamlet of Peruville, and then flows northward for roughly 24 miles through the villages of Groton, Locke and Moravia. Below Moravia, the Inlet flows through the Owasco Flats, a large and interesting wetland, before entering into Owasco Lake. Brown and rainbow trout are the main gamefish found throughout the Inlet. While, smallmouth and largemouth bass, brown bullhead, white sucker and panfish can be caught in the lower Inlet.
