Stroll on the Hudson  Image: The Hudson River is not your typical river. In fact, most of the Hudson is actually a tidal estuary where saltwater from the ocean combines with freshwater from northern tributaries. This “brackish”, or mixing, water extends from the mouth of the Hudson in NY Harbor to the Federal Dam in Troy, approximately 153 miles.

Brackish: when freshwater meets seawater. This painting's color is similar to the river. It is not too salty nor too fresh; not quite day nor night.; not blue nor green. It’s brackish!
