Henderson Lake is a lake in the Adirondack mountains in the town of Newcomb, Essex County, New York in the United States. It was named in 1826 after David Henderson, one of the founders of the Elba Iron Works near Lake Placid, New York,[2] and of the Upper Works at 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]

[it] Lago Henderson

Il Lago Henderson (Henderson Lake) è un lago sui Monti Adirondack presso la cittadina di Newcomb. Fu così denominato nel 1826 dal nome di David Henderson, fondatore delle Ferriere Elba Iron vicino al Lake Placid[1] e di quelle a Tahawus.[2] Spesso viene citato come sorgente del fiume Hudson da molti cartografi, ma l'effettiva sorgente del fiume è tuttora motivo di dibattito.
