Ore Bed Brook runs through the Keene Valley corridor — a modest tributary that likely takes its name from the iron ore mining that shaped the eastern High Peaks in the 19th century, though no active ore bed sites are documented along its current course. The stream drains northeast toward the Ausable watershed, passing through mixed hardwood and hemlock stands typical of the mid-elevation valleys around Keene. No maintained trail follows the brook itself, and no fish survey data exists in the DEC records — it's the kind of small feeder stream you cross on approach hikes without a second thought. For context: Keene Valley proper sits just to the north, where a dozen major trailheads radiate into the High Peaks.
