Cascade Brook

Cascade Brook drains the northeast slope of Cascade Mountain and flows east through Keene, crossing under NY-73 before joining the Ausable River near the base of the Cascade Lakes trailhead. It's not the most famous tributary in the watershed — that would be the outlet from Cascade Lake itself — but it carries reliable flow through spring and early summer, fed by snowmelt and the porous slopes above. The brook runs cold and clear over fractured bedrock and cobble, typical High Peaks feeder-stream character. No fish surveys on record, but the gradient and temperature profile suggest resident brook trout in the lower mile before the confluence.
