West Farms Section
The West Farms section stretches from the 182nd Street Dam downstream to the Cross Bronx Expressway (approximately 176th Street). It includes the first tidal freshwater section (at Drew Gardens) and the furthest downstream free-flowing section of non-tidal river. Despite retaining relatively high tree canopy cover along its banks, it is one o the most narrow and confined sections of river in the Bronx, with little to no remaining floodplain wetland.
