About the muscoot river


The Muscoot River is a 13-mile long tributary of the Croton River located in Westchester County, New York. The river was historically used for agricultural purposes, with several mills and factories established along its banks. Today, the river is primarily used for recreational purposes, with several parks and trails located along its length. The river is fed by several smaller streams and is regulated by two reservoirs, the Muscoot and New Croton Reservoirs. These reservoirs provide drinking water for residents of Westchester County and New York City. While the Muscoot River is not known for its hydroelectric potential, the New Croton Dam, located at the southern end of the New Croton Reservoir, is a major hydroelectric facility that generates power for the region.
