The Fall Kill is a creek in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The creek begins in the towns of Hyde Park and Clinton, flows southward through the town and city of Poughkeepsie, and drains into the Hudson River. The entire Fall Kill is approximately 38 miles (61 km) long, and the southern end of the creek is surrounded by heavy urbanization. In the City of Poughkeepsie, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of the Fall Kill were channelized by stone walls during the Great Depression. The creek's drainage basin accounts for approximately 12,476 acres (50.49 km²) of the larger Hudson Direct Watershed. As of the 2000 Census, about 28,500 people resided in this area.
