The Mucone is a river in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, southern Italy.[1] The source of the river is in La Sila north of Botte Donato. It flows into Lago di Cecita and flows out of the lake near the western border of Sila National Park. The river flows northwest before curving west near Acri. It flows near Bisignano before flowing into the Crati east of Torano Castello. The Mucone is the largest right tributary of the Crati.[citation needed]
