Clyde River (New York)

The Clyde River is a river located in Wayne County, New York. It is a tributary of the Seneca River, which ultimately flows into Lake Ontario via the Oswego River. The Clyde River is approximately 25 miles long.

The river's course generally flows from east to west, originating in the highlands east of the village of Rose. It meanders through agricultural lands and past several small communities, including the village of Clyde, from which it derives its name.

Historically, the Clyde River played a significant role in transportation and agriculture in the region. Its waters were used for powering mills, and its fertile floodplains supported farming. Today, the river is primarily used for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking. Environmental efforts are ongoing to maintain and improve the water quality and ecological health of the Clyde River watershed.
