Mill Rock is a small uninhabited island between Manhattan Island and Queens in New York City. The island belongs to the borough of Manhattan. It lies about 1,000 feet (300 m) off Manhattan's East 96th Street,[1] south of Randalls and Wards Islands, where the East River and Harlem River converge. Mill Rock is located at Hell Gate, formerly an infamously treacherous area for ships to pass.
