The Cohocton River is a 56-mile-long tributary of the Chemung River that flows through Steuben and Livingston counties in New York. The river has a rich history, having been used for transportation and trade by Native American tribes and European settlers. Today, it is mostly used for recreational activities, such as fishing and kayaking. The river's hydrology is affected by several reservoirs and dams, including the Steuben County Dam and the Wayland Dam, which were built for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The water from the river is also used for agricultural purposes, particularly for irrigation. Despite pollution concerns in the past, the Cohocton River has made a significant recovery and continues to be an important natural resource for the region.
