    Great documentary, it should be assigned in schools throughout Westchester and perhaps especially in the Bronx, where I live! The restoration of this beautiful river is a point of pride for the Bronx, where many residents and organizations came together to help make it happen!

    Grew up playing in Bronx river in the 1960s. Beautiful river, wonderful bridges and depression era structures. But, I never realized it derives from the Kensico dam. What a wonderful land this must have been back in the 18th century and before. So glad the river is cared for these days. Flow on.

    Very nice chunk of history I just learned here. I moved to the Bronx in the late 90's and knew very little about the Bronx River. I've fished the section from the zoo to where it turns brackish and catch very nice fish. (Catch & release) Thanks to all parties involved.
