The Hudson River, called Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk in Mahican, is a river that runs through the eastern portion of New York State and, along its southern terminus, demarcates the border between the states of New York and New Jersey as its mentioned in hudson river New York map. Hudson river New York is named for Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Netherlands, who explored it in 1609. Early European settlement of the area clustered around the river. The Hudson river later became a major source of transportation and economic development in the U.S. when the Erie Canal provided a link, by way of the Hudson, between New York Harbor and the Great Lakes.

 

The official source of the Hudson river New York is Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondack Mountains as its shown in hudson river New York map. However, the waterways from the lake are known as Feldspar Brook and the Opalescent River, which feed into the Hudson at Tahawus. The actual Hudson River begins several miles north of Tahawus at Henderson Lake. The Hudson river is joined at Troy (north of Albany) by the Mohawk River, its major tributary. Just south of there is the Hudson River Valley divided by the federal dam which separates the Upper Hudson River Valley from the Lower Hudson River Valley. South of Troy, the Hudson widens and flows south into the Atlantic Ocean between Manhattan and the New Jersey Palisades, forming New York Harbor at New York Bay, an arm of the Atlantic.
