TheCockermouth River is a 9.5-mile-long (15.3 km)^[1]stream located in centralNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is the longest tributary ofNewfound Lake, part of thePemigewasset River and ultimatelyMerrimack River watersheds. The river takes its name from the "Cockermouth Grant", an early name for a portion of the town ofHebron.^[2]

The river begins in Province Road State Forest near the western boundary ofGroton, 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 throughSculptured Rocks Natural Area, a series of narrow, sharply carved rock formations that are a popular localswimming 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.
