About the croton river


The Croton River is a 75-mile-long waterway that flows through southeastern New York State. Historically, it served as an important source of water for New York City, prompting the construction of several reservoirs and dams along its length. The largest of these, the Croton Dam, was completed in 1842 and remains an important part of the city's water supply system. The river is fed by several tributaries and has a diverse hydrology, ranging from rapids and waterfalls to calm stretches. Today, the Croton River is also used for recreational activities like fishing and kayaking, as well as providing water for local agriculture. Despite some pollution concerns, efforts have been made to protect and restore the river's ecosystem, including the removal of obsolete dams and restoration of fish habitat.
