From its official headwaters at Henderson Lake in New York, the Hudson flows 274 nm (507 km) southward to New York City. While the overall length of the Hudson River is of interest, more important is the lower Hudson River that stretches 134 nm (248 km) from The Troy Lock & Dam south to The Battery in New York City.
The Hudson estuary stretches 153 miles from Troy to New York Harbor, nearly half the river's 315 mile course between Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks and the Battery at the tip of Manhattan.ore than 200 species of fish are found in the Hudson and its tributaries. The estuary's productivity is ecologically and economically valuable to much of the Atlantic Coast; key commercial and recreational species like striped bass, bluefish, and blue crab depend on nursery habitat here.
