The Susquehanna River is the nation's sixteenth largest river.
The river has its origin at Otsego Lake near Cooperstown, N.Y. From here it flows 444 miles until it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Other large N.Y. tributaries of the Susquehanna River include the Unadilla River, Chenango River, and the Chemung River.

Tiger muskellunge and northern pike are also very plentiful here as well. Some of the best known fishing hot spots would be the Rock Bottom Dam, Hickories Park in Owego, Hiawatha Island, the Owego Creek mouth, and the Cannon Hole in Waverly.
