The Salmon River is a small river north of Syracuse in Upstate New York, the United States. It is a popular and economically important sportfishing destination, and the most heavily fished of New Yorks Lake Ontario tributaries. From its headwaters in the Tug Hill region of New York, it flows 71 km westward through two hydroelectric dams and over the 34 m Salmon River Falls before it empties into eastern Lake Ontario at Port Ontario in Oswego County. The Salmon River watershed drains approximately 730 km2.
