Cold River (New York)
The Cold River is a river in the Adirondack Mountains in New York, United States. It was one of the first rivers in the state designated as a Wild River, in 1972. The river is located near the conjunction of the county lines of Essex, Franklin and Hamilton Counties.
The river ultimately flows into the Raquette River, in a marsh at the north end of Long Lake in the Town of Long Lake.
The area is associated with Noah John Rondeau, a hermit, who lived ten miles up the Cold River for twenty years and termed himself the "Mayor of Cold River City ". He was, however, a very sociable hermit.
