Canisteo River Valley from Pinnacle State Park

The Canisteo River is a 61.0-mile-long (98.2 km)[1]

tributary of the Tioga River in western New York in
the United States. It drains a dissected plateau, a portion of the northern Allegheny Plateau southwest of the
Finger Lakes region, in the far northwestern reaches of
the watershed of the Susquehanna River.
It rises in the hills of northern Allegany County, approximately 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Dansville. It ows
east into northern Steuben County, then generally southeast past Hornell and Canisteo. It joins the Tioga from
the west in southeastern Steuben County, approximately
10 miles (16 km) north of the Pennsylvania state line and
5 miles (8 km) southwest of Corning.
The name of the river comes from a Native American
word meaning either "pickerel" or head of water. In
the 19th century the river valley was the site of an early
timber industry. Logs were oated down the river after
being cut. As on other rivers in the Susquehanna basin,
transportation on the Canisteo before the middle 19th
century was often accomplished by arks up to 75 feet (23
