Error?[edit]

The river never flowed down the spillway in 1972, it is an error. Check with the Army Corps. of Engineers to verify.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.224.31 (talk • contribs)

Rivers flowing north[edit]

Many rivers flow north. See [1], many other USA rivers flow north including: Shenandoah River, Oswego River, and Niagara River. Ward20 (talk) 20:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incomprehensible passage[edit]

Third paragraph in History begins:

If "not for hydropower, the flour mills, clothing mills, and tool fabricators would not have located in Rochester",[3] and the 1825 Erie Canal allowed the mills to ship products to New York City.

Makes no sense.

Eastern Triple Divide[edit]

The source of the Genesee River is one of the three streams that forms the Eastern Triple Divide (see Eastern Continental Divide) that separates the watersheds of the the Gulf of St. Lawrence (the Genesee River to Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River), the Alantic Seabord (Pine Creek to the Susquehanna River to Chesapeake Bay), and the Gulf of Mexico (Allegheny River to the Ohio River to the Mississippi River).
