The Seneca River, located in upstate New York, stretches for approximately 61 miles and is a significant tributary of Lake Ontario. Historically, the Seneca River was a vital transportation route for Native American tribes, and later, for European settlers. The river is still used for commercial shipping and is home to several hydroelectric power plants, including the Seneca Pumped Storage Project, which is one of the largest pumped storage facilities in the world. The river is also home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Seneca Falls Dam, which was constructed in the early 1900s to supply power to the area. These reservoirs provide recreational opportunities, such as fishing and boating. Additionally, the river is important for agriculture, with several farms utilizing the fertile land surrounding the river for crops and livestock.
