The Hudson is tidal from its mouth at New York City's harbor to Troy New York because for the entirety of this distance, the river does not rise in elevation beyond the high tide of the Atlantic ocean. In a sense, the Atlantic tides temporarily raise the sea level to a level higher than the level of the Hudson for this distance. The tides are most noticeable closest to the ocean because it is in this area that the elevation of the river is at its lowest.

How is the bay of Fundy related to the reversing river?

The "reversing rivers" (there are several of them, in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) are rivers that feed into the Bay of Fundy. Since the Bay has the world's highest tides, the incoming high tide flows up the rivers. Thus the rivers appear to reverse.


Why are there waves in the sea but not in rivers?

Lakes are too small to experience tidal forces, which are caused by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth. Rivers flow downhill under the influence of Earth's gravity which is much closer than the Moon or Sun, and any tidal effects are indistinguishable. However, rivers which lead to the oceans are affected by tides, as ocean water rushes in to the mouth or estuary of the river.
