The Kisco River is a creek that runs through the Mount Kisco, New York, area. It is formed by the forks of Chappaqua Brook and an unnamed stream. It follows a 3.3-mile (5.3 km) winding course before emptying into the New Croton Reservoir at Lake Road Bridge in the town of New Castle near the hamlet of Stanwood, and eventually into the Croton Aqueduct for distribution in New York City. Waters overflowing the spillway of the New Croton Dam continue downstream in the Croton River and empty into the Hudson River near Croton Point.
The river’s name is derived from the village of Mount Kisco, which the river flows through. The name of Mount Kisco is further derived from "seesquee", which may also be written as "cisqua", which is the Algonquin word for "muddy place", referring to the marshlands in the area.
