Fox Creek is a 24.8-mile-long (39.9 km)[2]tributary ofSchoharie Creek inSchoharie andAlbany counties in theU.S. state ofNew York. It rises in the southeastern part of the town ofBerne, west of the Helderberg Mountains, and flows west, passing through the hamlets of East Berne, Bensons Corner, Berne, and West Berne, continuing through the town ofWright, where it passes the hamlets of Gallupville and Shutter Corners before entering the town ofSchoharie, where it flows into Schoharie Creek near the hamlet of Vroman Corners. Fox Creek is part of theHudson River watershed, Via Schoharie Creek and theMohawk River.
Near its mouth it is crossed by theSchoharie Bridge, acovered bridge near theOld Stone Fort, anAmerican Revolutionary War-era structure.

It had a maximum discharge of 7,840 cubic feet (222 m3) per second on April 4, 1987, which is outside the period of record and therefore estimated and a minimum discharge of 2.3 cubic feet (0.065 m3) per second on July 16–17, 2018.[3]
