Black River

River in New York State; length 193 km/120 mi. It rises in the southwest of Herkimer County in small lakes of the Adirondacks, then flows in a generally northwesterly direction through Lewis County before turning to Black River Bay, an inlet of Lake Ontario. The Black River Canal, abandoned in 1926, connected it to the Erie Canal at Rome from 1836 onwards. Falls along the river's course provide power to paper mills and other industries.
