Waterways of New York

New York has many bodies of water, from large rivers to small lakes. They help New York with communication,

transportation, and transporting goods.

Hudson River

The Beginning, Middle, and End!

• All rivers have a source, or a beginning. • As the river makes it’s journey away from

the source it grows because it has smaller river and streams

called tributaries that flow into it. • Like all rivers the Hudson River has an

end, or a mouth, where the water empties into a large body of water like the Atlantic Ocean.
