Roughly halfway along Maple Hill, the creek enters into the Canajoharie Gorge, as it passes Wintergreen Flats. Then roughly from the mouth, the creek flows over the Canajoharie Falls. The stream then continues to flow through a narrow deep canyon towards the Mohawk River. Along the way is a deep pothole called the boiling pot. After this the creek passes through the Village of Canajoharie and under State Route 5S before converging with the Mohawk River.
