What river in New York flows through almost the entire state? The answer to the question is Hudson. Through its small tributaries, the state was divided into parts. The river is named after the Englishman Henry Hudson, an explorer of the riverbed, which first landed here in 1609. In its upper reaches, waterfalls of various heights are often found, and rapids are often formed. The mouth of the river, which is regularly flooded, has a different depth - from 3 to 14 meters. After passing through the bay, the Hudson flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The watercourse has an underwater valley, after entering the mouth it falls to the level of 200–250 km. The river is 492 km long (however, some scientists provide a different figure - 520 km).
Location, mouth and source, tributaries
Hudson is a river in New York, originating in a ridge called Andirondack. It completely flows through the territory of the named state. This body of water has long been considered a conditional boundary between the districts of New Jersey and New York. Thanks to the estuary, the two districts are separated. The mouth is called the bay of the Atlantic Ocean. In this place, the river in New York used to have a lot of fish, but due to severe pollution its quantity and species diversity decreased markedly.
In the area of the city of Troy is the largest tributary of the Hudson - the Mohawk. In this territory the river is navigable. It also has links to some large lakes. In addition to New York, there are 4 other settlements on the pond.
