What are the three rivers that surround Manhattan?

Answer 1

The Hudson River, the Harlem River, and the East River, but the Hudson is the only true river of the three. The Harlem and East Rivers are tidal straits.

Interesting bit of trivia: the Hudson River is actually a fjord. It is the only fjord in North America.

I have included a link to a New York City subway map that shows you the three rivers.

Answer 2

Three rivers surround Manhattan, actually...well, sort of. Manhattan Island is surrounded by the Hudson River to the west, the Harlem River to the north, East River to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The East River is actually not a river, but an estuary, or a tidal strait: it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean.

The Hudson River runs down the west side of Manhattan from upstate New York. The Harlem River branches off from the Hudson River, runs down over the top of Manhattan, and into the East River.
