Natural widening of the Hudson River
Tappan Zee
The Tappan Zee (English pronunciation: /ˌtæpən ˈziː/ ; also Tappan Sea or Tappaan Zee) is a natural widening of the Hudson River, about 3 miles (4.8 km) across at its widest, in southeastern New York. It stretches about 10 miles (16 km) along the boundary between Rockland and Westchester counties, downstream from Croton Point to Irvington. Its name is from the Tappan people of the Lenape, and the Dutch word zee [zeː], meaning a sea. Flanked to the west by high steep bluffs of the Palisades, it forms something of a natural lake on the Hudson about 10 miles (16 km) north of Manhattan, in New York City. Communities along the Tappan Zee include Nyack and Piermont on the western side as well as Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Sleepy Hollow, and Tarrytown on the eastern side.
