The Allegheny River is, by volume, the main headstream of the Ohio River.
The river is approximately 325 miles long, running through the U.S. states of New York and Pennsylvania. It drains a rural dissected plateau of 11,580 square miles in the northern Allegheny Plateau, providing the northeastern most drainage in the watershed of the Mississippi River. Its tributaries reach to within 8 miles of Lake Erie in southwestern New York.
