The Neversink River, a beautiful gem of a stream at the far eastern end of the Finger Lakes Trail in the Catskills, takes its name from an Algonquian word variously spelled as Newasink, Narrasing, Nevisinck, and Naewersink. It’s translated variously as “wild or mad river” or “a continual running stream” or “high land between waters.”
