The Saw Kill is a 14.3-mile-long tributary of the Hudson River. It rises in the town of Milan and drains a 22-square-mile area of northwestern Dutchess County that includes most of the town of Red Hook and part of Rhinebeck. It flows predominantly through forests and farmland. It descends more steeply through a wooded area with several waterfalls into South Tivoli Bay, between the Montgomery Place estate and Bard College. Archeological investigations at Montgomery Place nearby, have found evidence of the land's use as a hunting ground 5,000 years ago. (source: Wikipedia)
