The Coldwater River is located in south central British Columbia, Canada. It is the largest tributary of the Nicola River, which it joins at the city of Merritt. The river drains a watershed of 917 square kilometres (354 sq mi).[4] The English name derives from the Secwepemc (Shuswap) name for the river, Ntstlatko, meaning "cold water",[3][5] although the river lies south of Secwepemc traditional territory and entirely within the traditional territory of the Nlaka'pamux First Nation.
