About the canisteo river
The Canisteo River is a 76-mile-long river located in western New York State. The river flows through the counties of Steuben and Allegany and eventually empties into the Cohocton River. Historically, the river played an important role in the development of the region's timber and agriculture industries. The river is fed by several tributaries and has a watershed area of about 589 square miles. Two major reservoirs, the Canisteo Reservoir and the Greenwood Lake, have been constructed on the river to provide water supply and flood control. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Agriculture is another significant industry in the Canisteo River watershed, with dairy farming being the most common agricultural activity.
