South of the Federal Dam, the Hudson River begins to widen considerably. The river enters the [[Hudson Valley]], flowing between the cities of [[Albany, New York|Albany]] on the west bank and [[Rensselaer, New York|Rensselaer]] on the east bank. [[Interstate 90]] crosses the Hudson into Albany at this point in the river. The Hudson then leaves the Capital District, forming the boundary between Greene and Columbia Counties. It then meets its confluence with Schodack Creek, widening considerably at this point. After flowing by [[Hudson, New York|Hudson]], the river forms the boundary between Ulster and Columbia Counties and Ulster and Dutchess Counties, passing [[Germantown (town), New York|Germantown]] and [[Kingston, New York|Kingston]].<ref name="depth"/>

The [[Delaware and Hudson Canal]] meets the river at this point. The river then flows by [[Hyde Park, New York|Hyde Park]], former residence of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], and alongside the city of [[Poughkeepsie]], flowing under the [[Walkway over the Hudson]] and the [[Mid-Hudson Bridge]]. Afterwards, the Hudson passes [[Wappingers Falls]] and takes in [[Wappinger Creek]]. The river then forms the boundary between Orange and Dutchess Counties. It flows between [[Newburgh (city), New York|Newburgh]] and [[Beacon, New York|Beacon]] and under the [[Newburgh Beacon Bridge]], taking in the [[Fishkill Creek]].<ref name="depth"/>

In this area, between Gee's Point at the [[US Military Academy]] and [[Constitution Island]], an area known as "World's End" marks the deepest part of the Hudson, at {{convert|202|ft|m}}.<ref name="depth">{{cite web|title=River Guide to the Hudson Highlands|last=Aimon|first=Alan C.|publisher=[[Hudson River Valley Institute]]|url=http://www.hudsonrivervalley.org/library/pdfs/riverguidehudsonhighlands.pdf|date=November 27, 2009|access-date=November 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230052252/http://www.hudsonrivervalley.org/library/pdfs/riverguidehudsonhighlands.pdf|archive-date=December 30, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> Shortly thereafter, the river enters the [[Hudson Highlands]] between Putnam and Orange Counties, flowing between mountains such as [[Storm King Mountain (New York)|Storm King Mountain]], [[Breakneck Ridge]], and [[Bear Mountain (Hudson Highlands)|Bear Mountain]]. The river narrows considerably here before flowing under the [[Bear Mountain Bridge]], which connects Westchester and Rockland Counties.<ref name="Hudson River Map"/>

Afterward, leaving the Hudson Highlands, the river enters [[Haverstraw Bay]], the widest point of the river at {{convert|3.5|mi|km}} wide.<ref name="USGS Water Quality Assessment"/> Shortly thereafter, the river forms the [[Tappan Zee]] and flows under the [[Tappan Zee Bridge (2017–present)|Tappan Zee Bridge]], which carries the [[New York State Thruway]] between [[Tarrytown, New York|Tarrytown]] and [[Nyack, New York|Nyack]] in Westchester and Rockland Counties respectively. At the state line with [[New Jersey]] the west bank of the Hudson enters [[Bergen County, New Jersey|Bergen County]]. [[The Palisades (Hudson River)|The Palisades]] are large, rocky cliffs along the west bank of the river; also known as [[Bergen Hill]] at their lower end in [[Hudson County, New Jersey|Hudson County]].<ref name="Hudson River Map"/>

Further south the east bank of the river becomes [[Yonkers]] and then the [[Riverdale, Bronx|Riverdale]] neighborhood of the [[Bronx]] in New York City. South of the confluence of the Hudson and [[Spuyten Duyvil Creek]] (subsumed by the [[Harlem River Ship Canal]] connecting to the [[Harlem River]]), the east bank of the river becomes [[Manhattan]].<ref name="Hudson River Map"/> The river is sometimes still called the [[North River (Hudson River)|North River]] from this point south. The [[George Washington Bridge]] crosses the river between [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]] and the [[Washington Heights, Manhattan|Washington Heights]] neighborhood of Manhattan.<ref name="GWBridge"/>

The [[Lincoln Tunnel]] and the [[Holland Tunnel]] also cross under the river between Manhattan and New Jersey. South of [[the Battery (Manhattan)|the Battery]], the river proper ends, meeting the [[East River]] to form Upper New York Bay, also known as [[New York Harbor]]. Its outflow continues through [[the Narrows]] between [[Brooklyn]] and [[Staten Island]], under the [[Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge|Verrazzano Bridge]], and into [[Lower New York Bay]] and the [[Atlantic Ocean]]<ref name="Hudson River Map"/> through the [[Hudson Canyon]].
