Rivers, Ice Jams and Spring Melt in Saratoga County
Saratoga County sits between the Hudson and the Mohawk, and its own hazard plan ties much of its flooding to winter and spring: snowmelt, rain on frozen ground and river ice. The points below describe documented conditions and past events. They are not predictions for any particular property.
- Two rivers, one confluence
- The plan, citing the county’s flood insurance study, names the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers as the principal flood sources, and notes that the location of the Town and Village of Waterford at their confluence makes its eastern part subject to flooding whenever a major flood occurs on either river (Saratoga County hazard plan).
- Spring rain and snowmelt
- The same study says heavy spring rainfall combined with snowmelt causes high water and local flooding throughout the county, frequently aggravated by ice jams, and that floods also occur in summer and fall from storms (Saratoga County hazard plan).
- Ice jams
- Citing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ ice jam database, the plan counts 38 reported ice jam events for the county between 1914 and 2024, on the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, Kayaderosseras Creek (Town of Milton) and the Batten Kill (Saratoga County hazard plan).
- Since the 2019 plan
- The plan lists 33 flood events since the 2019 plan, including October 31, 2019, when flooding in the Towns of Day and Greenfield caused reported property damage of $59,600 and $90,400 (Saratoga County hazard plan). OpenFEMA lists Saratoga County in the December 2019 declaration for “severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding” (OpenFEMA).
- Repeat insured losses
- The plan’s table of repetitive-loss properties includes insured properties in the Village of Ballston Spa, the Towns of Ballston, Clifton Park, Halfmoon, Saratoga and Stillwater, the Town and Village of Waterford, and the City of Mechanicville, most of them single-family homes (Saratoga County hazard plan). OpenFEMA also lists four major disaster declarations with “flood” or “flooding” in the title, in 1996, 1998, 2004 and 2019 (OpenFEMA).
The county’s hazard mitigation plan update includes a separate annex for each participating municipality, which is the place to look for flood information about a specific community.
