Mossy Cascade Brook

Mossy Cascade Brook runs through the Keene backcountry — one of dozens of small tributary streams that feed the larger Ausable watershed and rarely appear on hiking maps or fish surveys. The name suggests steep gradient and wet ledges; these small cascade brooks tend to hold brook trout in the deep pockets between drops, especially in the upper reaches where the canopy stays dense and the water stays cold. No maintained trail access or documented campsites on record, which generally means bushwhacking or following old logging corridors if you're after it. Worthwhile if you're already in the area with a topographic map and dry feet aren't a priority.
