It's approximately 9.3 or 9.4 miles long, and half a mile to two thirds of a mile wide. It's not a real river, but just a river-shaped passageway formed by the islands and the ocean. It's called an estuary or tidal strait. It connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic at Lower Manhattan.
