The Fall Kill begins in the towns of Hyde Park and Clinton. It flows southward through the town and city of Poughkeepsie and drains into the Hudson River.  Although the northern section of the creek is characterized by marshes and wetlands harboring several threatened or endangered species, the southern end of the creek is surrounded by heavy urbanization. In the city of Poughkeepsie, 2.5 miles of the Fall Kill were channelized by stone walls during the Great Depression. The creek was an important source of industrial water power in the early 19th century, such as grinding materials to make dyes.
