About the oswego river


The Oswego River is a 23-mile-long river located in upstate New York that flows into Lake Ontario. It has a rich industrial history, once powering mills and factories in the area. The river is fed by several smaller streams and has a drainage area of 5,000 square miles. The river is dammed at several points to create reservoirs, which provide drinking water to local communities and hydroelectric power. The two main reservoirs on the river are the Oswego and Oneida Lakes. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking. Agriculture is also an important use of the river, with many farms located along its banks. The river has been the subject of conservation efforts to improve water quality and protect its diverse ecosystem.
