The Seneca River in central New York flows 61.6 miles (99.1 km)[1] from west to east, from Seneca Lake, through the Montezuma Marsh at the north end of Cayuga Lake to the Seneca's confluence with the Oneida and Oswego rivers at the Three Rivers area north of Syracuse. Much of the river has been channelized to form part of the Erie Canal.
