Indian River (New Hampshire)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the similarly-named waterway in northern New Hampshire, see Indian Stream.

The Indian River is a 12.8 mile long (20.7 km)^[1] river located in western New Hampshire in the United States. The river is a tributary of the Mascoma River, which in turn flows to the Connecticut River and ultimately Long Island Sound.

The Indian River rises in the southern corner of the town of Dorchester, New Hampshire and flows south in a broad valley to the west of Mount Cardigan. At the town center of Canaan, the river turns west and shortly ends at the Mascoma River.

For its south-flowing portion, the Indian River is followed by New Hampshire Route 118. From Canaan to the Mascoma River, U.S. Route 4 is close by.
