 Kinderhook Creek watershed is made up of the lands draining into Kinderhook Creek and some of its tributaries, including Black River, Black Brook, East Brook, West Brook, Wyomanock Creek, and Tsatsawassa (Tackawasick) Creek. (While the Valatie Kill is also a tributary of Kinderhook Creek, the lands draining into it are treated as their own watershed on this map.) The upper reaches of this watershed are in southeastern Rensselaer County; the watershed extends downstream into Columbia County to where Kinderhook Creek joins Stockport Creek just east of the Hudson River.

The Kinderhook Creek watershed drains the southern portion of the Rensselaer Plateau and a portion of the Taconic Mountains. The Rensselaer Plateau is New York State's fifth largest forest, and its higher elevation, cooler climate, and rocky poorly drained soils give it a landscape and ecology more like the Adirondacks than like the surrounding lower lands. The Plateau's extensive forests provide habitat for animals that need large areas to survive, such as bear, bobcat, coyote, fisher, and the Capital Region's only population of moose. One of the largest wetland complexes on the Rensselaer Plateau is in the Kinderhook Creek watershed at Cranberry Vly in Taborton...."... https://www.renstrust.org/protect/watershed-map?start=16

"...While sea level rise, flooding and heat are the impacts most people associate with climate change, we’re seeing many other impacts from extreme rain, including mobilization of toxic PCBs from a Superfund site on the Rensselaer Plateau, and drinking water quality degradation as excess sediment, nutrients and other pollutants are washed into reservoirs and rivers that serve as drinking water sources. And, the rain met our aging and antiquated sewers with predictable results: dozens and dozens of sewage overflows...."... https://www.riverkeeper.org/blogs/water-quality-blogs/climate-extremes-and-beach-closures-on-the-hudson/?fbclid=IwAR1ZdzhSDc46oPAvOgS8wJSJXA-k33D8Dd36ZFBgY7oP77eQsnjQYAdUtjc
