The New River (Chimariko: tcolīdasum,[5] Hupa: yiduqi-nilin,[6] Karuk: akráah kumásaamvaroo[7]) is a 21.4-mile-long (34.4 km)[2] tributary of the Trinity River in northern California. The river was named by miners during the California Gold Rush in the early 1850s. While prospecting west from earlier diggings on the upper Trinity River, they named the river due to it being a "new" place to search for gold.[3]
