Cascade Brook drains the north slope of Cascade Mountain and runs through Keene before feeding into the East Branch of the Ausable River — a cold, fast tributary that picks up snowmelt and spring runoff from one of the most-hiked peaks in the Adirondacks. The brook parallels sections of the Cascade Mountain Trail corridor, though most hikers are too focused on the summit push to stop and pay attention to the water. It's classic High Peaks drainage: steep gradient, pocket pools, mossy banks, and the kind of flow that goes from ankle-deep to knee-deep depending on whether it rained two days ago. No lakes upstream, so the water stays clear and cold through summer.
