The Cockermouth River is a 9.5 mile long (15.4 km) stream located in central New Hampshire in the United States. It is the longest tributary of Newfound Lake, part of the Pemigewasset River and ultimately Merrimack River watersheds. The river begins in Province Road State Forest near the western boundary of Groton, New Hampshire and proceeds southeast across the entire town of Groton. The river is closely paralleled by Sculptured Rocks Road, a very rough dirt road which gradually becomes more passable to automobiles as it proceeds downstream. The river passes through Sculptured Rocks Natural Area, a series of narrow, sharply-carved rock formations that are a popular local swimming hole, then enters a broader valley as it passes the village center of Groton. Continuing east, the Cockermouth River enters the town of Hebron and flows into Newfound Lake near the lake's northern end. The river consists of numerous rocks and boulders, timbered and brush shoreline, pocket water and riffles.
