Cold River is a remote wilderness stream in the High Peaks Wilderness — fishable water starts several trail miles from the nearest road. Native brook trout in roadless habitat; the hike filters crowds more than regulations do.
Fish on record include Brook trout — always check current New York State DEC regulations before fishing. Cold River has public access. Summits nearby include Little Santanoni Mountain and Couchsachraga Peak.
