	The majestic Hudson river is 306 miles (492 kilometers) long. It begins in a lake called Tear-of-the-Clouds, more than 4,300 feet (1,311 meters) aboe sea leel in the Adirondack Mountains. Cascading down from the mountains, the river flows south, picking up water from many tributaries. It empties into the Atlantic Ocean at New York City. Natie Americans called the Hudson "the river that Flows Two Ways" because at rising tide of the ocean the river flows almost 170 miles (274 kilometers) upstream. When the tide falls, the waters reverse course and flow back into New York harbor. The Hudson river played an important role in the early settlement of New York state as a trade and transportation route. During the Reolutionary War, colonists hung a huge chain across the river to keep British ships from sailing upstream. The extraordinary beauty of the Hudson shoreline has earned the river the nickname "the Rhine of America." Artists who painted panoramic views of the river were said to belong to the Hudson river School, a famous style of nineteventh-century landscape painting. Oceangoing ships can sail upriver about 150 miles (241 kilometers). The Mohawk river is the largest tributary of the Hudson. The 148-mile long (240-kilometer) Mohawk flows southeast through central New York, joining the Hudson north of Albany.
