Hoisington Brook

Hoisington Brook runs through the Keene valley floor — one of several cold, clear tributary streams that feed the East Branch of the Ausable River as it drops through town. The brook is small-scale water: shallow runs over gravel and bedrock, pocket pools under cut banks, the kind of stream you cross on a hike rather than fish for an afternoon. No formal access points or designated campsites, but the brook's headwaters push into the backcountry northwest of town, and its lower reaches pass through private land and working valley farmsteads. If you're poking around Keene proper, you'll see it — cold, fast, ankle-deep in most seasons.
