	Hudson River - LoveToKnow 1911
		It is not a river in the truest sense of the word, but a river valley into which the ocean water has been admitted by subsidence of the land, transforming a large part of the valley into an inlet, and thus opening it up to navigation.
		From Troy to the mouth of the Hudson the river is tidal, and from this point also the river is navigable, not because of the river water itself, but because of the low grade of the river bed by which the tide is able to back up the wat sufficiently to float good-sized boats.
		Along the immediate banks of the river are great beds of clay which is extensively used in the manufacture of brick; and the brick-burning plants and huge ice houses are conspicuous features in the landscape.

		The Hoosic Watershed is a division of the Hudson Watershed, and drains 720 square miles of land.
		Hoosic, probably meaning "beyond place" and referring to Mahican hunting grounds beyond the Hudson, is the usual spelling for the river itself.
		River Bend Farm in Williamstown is said to have been an Amerindian camping place where travelers and hunters enjoyed the nearby mineral springs (which also supplied a short-lived spa resort about 100 years ago and now supply two privately owned businesses, the Sand Springs Pool and a drinking-water bottling company).

		Brad Chase, an expert in smelt biology, studied the egg deposits in the river and found that both the presence of the dam as well as spring “low flows” were the biggest deterrents to a thriving smelt population.
		If these species were to return to the Neponset River, we learned, they would survive only if they could follow the spring flows of fresh water upstream to where a cobbled substrate, covered with bubbling oxygenated water, would afford them a safe haven for laying their eggs.
		The impetus for activism along the Hoosic turned out to be wild trout in the river, at the mouth of the tributaries, and mostly upstream of the dreaded flood chutes.

		Over an area of 720 square miles, the river’s watershed encompasses the forested slopes of Mt. Greylock, Massachusetts’ highest peak, and numerous wetlands, ponds and lakes.

	History of the Mohawk Trail
		In general we may say the Mohawk Trail runs from the mouth of the Hoosic River to North Adams, thence to the Deerfield and on to the Connecticut.
		From the mouth of the Hoosic to Eagle Bridge it seems to be generally accepted that the trail lay along the river bank, and probably on both sides of the river, in the place now occupied by the highway nearest the river bank.
		The deep rocky gorge of Cold River does not afford an easy passage for even a path, but after its course had been made in the easiest places, it is readily seen that it was the line of least grade.

		The Hoosic River begins on the west slope of the Green Mountains in northwestern Massachusetts and flows in a northwesterly direction through southern Vermont into New York.
		Although the headwater streams have very steep gradients, the overall gradient of the river is moderate, averaging about 19 ft/mi from its headwaters to the USGS streamflow-gaging station near Williamstown, a distance of about 24 river mi.
		The natural flow regimen along the main stem of the Hoosic has been altered by Cheshire Reservoir, by flood-control structures in Adams and North Adams, by large ground-water withdrawals, by industrial use and discharge, and by discharge of wastewater from sewage-treatment plants.

		Being that the Hoosic is part of the Hudson River Watershed, it’s not out of the question that both our major watersheds here in Berkshire County (the Hoosic and Housitonic) could have once held salmon runs.

		The Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission was established by Congress in 1983 to provide guidance to these many entities and to ensure cooperation.
