 | | New York State's borders touch (clockwise from the northwest) two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario, which are connected by the Niagara River), the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada, three New England states (Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut), the Atlantic Ocean, and two Mid-Atlantic states (New Jersey and Pennsylvania). |
 | | The southern tip of New York State — New York City, its suburbs, and the southern portion of the Hudson Valley — can be considered to form the central core of a "megalopolis", a super-city stretching from the northern suburbs of Boston to the southern suburbs of Washington and therefore occasionally called BosWash. |
 | | The Hudson River flows south through the eastern part of the state without draining Lakes George or Champlain. |
