Did you know that the Bronx River Is NYC's only true fresh water river?
It was considered a source for NYC's drinking water in the early
1830's. By the end of the 1800's it was labeled "an open sewer." The
river has made a comeback since the days of reckless dumping and now
supports many forms of aquatic life like Alewife Herring and even a
beaver named "Jose."
Come be awed by its beauty and bike with NYC H2O and the Bronx River Alliance as we tour the Bronx River from its mouth on the Long Island Sound to its source in Valhalla.
This event is made possible with funds from the Catskill Watershed Corporation in partnership with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
