Tahawus, New York.[3] The lake is mainly cited by cartographers as the place where the Hudson River as named officially begins, flowing out of the eastern end and outlet of the lake.[4][5][6] Unofficially, the source of the river is traced up Indian Pass Brook and other watercourses to Lake Tear of the Clouds.[7]
