There are six primary waterways surrounding New York City. Those waterways are: Hudson River, the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, the East River, New York Bay, and the Harlem River. The Hudson River runs north and south along Eastern New York state, connecting with the Atlantic Ocean to form New York Harbor. New York Harbor features one of the largest natural harbors in the United States and is the reason why New York City is a major shipping port. The Hudson River is also used for recreational water sports and transportation of people.
The East River flows into Long Island Sound and connects the Sound with Upper New York Bay. The Harlem River serves as border between the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. The river is also has a shipping canal that is a part of New York City’s shipping and transportation network.
