Black Brook

Black Brook runs through the Keene Valley corridor — one of several cold tributaries feeding the broader watershed between the High Peaks and the east. The name appears on USGS quads but without the infrastructure (trailhead signage, lean-tos, documented access) that turns a stream into a destination. It likely holds wild brookies in the upper reaches if the gradient and canopy are right, but there's no stocking record and no angler intel in circulation. If you're poking around the Keene backroads and see a pull-off near the crossing, it's worth a look — but expect bushwhacking and no guarantees.
