Mamaroneck River
Template:Geobox The Mamaroneck River is a freshwater stream located in Southern Westchester County, New York.[1] The river forms in White Plains and Harrison and flows 7.3 miles (11.7 km) south through Mamaroneck Town and Village, where it empties into Mamaroneck Harbor and Long Island Sound.
Detail
Originating 430 feet above sea level in a small wetlands area in Harrison, the river flows south along the eastern boundary of White Plains. It joins the 'East Branch' near the junction of Anderson Hill Road and Westchester Avenue. The Mamaroneck River flows another 2.5 miles to its confluence with the 'West Branch', where it forms the river's main stem below Spring Lake near Interstate 287. Human encroachment into the stream corridor and manipulation of the stream channel are byproducts of intense residential construction that has occurred in and around the river's headwaters.
