New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is sometimes called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from
New York City. Because of the preponderance of the population concentrated
in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often
regionalized into Upstate and Downstate.
While the state is best known for New York City's urban atmosphere,
especially Manhattan's skyscrapers, most of the state is in fact dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes. New York's
Adirondack State Park is larger than any U.S. National Park outside of Alaska. Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River as it flows from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, is a popular attraction. The Hudson River begins with Lake Tear of the Clouds and flows south through the
eastern part of the state without draining Lakes George or Champlain. Lake George empties at its north end into Lake Champlain, whose
northern end extends into Canada, where it drains into the Richelieu and then the St Lawrence Rivers. Four of
New York City's five boroughs are on the three islands at the mouth of the
Hudson River: Manhattan Island, Staten Island, and Long Island.
