The Hudson River is geologically considered to be a fiord so it's pretty
close to sea level. The Connecticut River which geographically isn't a
fiord is tidal to about 30 miles inland.

I don't think the Hudson River flows south either.
Although, depending on the tides, it probably flows both directions
right at the opening.
not just the opening — in flood tide, it flows "upstream" as far north as Albany

LOL! Like with any internet forum, there is always someone who will nitpick the
details of any simple statement to death.
Godfrey, you are often one of those people. I should know, I am often
two of those people.
me three, i guess, but i'd like to think i brought life, not death
to the subject — "right at the opening" vs. 140 miles upstream is a
major detail, at least to us river rats
I wonder what the elevation of the river is 140 miles upstream.
High tides much over, what?, a meter?, are probably a bit unusual,
and tidal effects are probably mostly limited by the elevation
of the river surface, and the high tide level.
