Geography of New York (state) State of the United States

The geography of New York state varies widely. Most of New York is dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes.

Lake George empties at its north end into Lake Champlain, whose northern end extends into Canada, where it drains into the Richelieu River and then the St. Lawrence.
