Roaring Brook drains the eastern slopes of the High Peaks, carving down from the col between Hedgehog and Noonmark before joining the Ausable near Keene Valley — one of the principal feeder streams for the East Branch watershed. The name delivers: this is a high-gradient stream, loud in spring runoff, audible from NY-73 through most of May. Multiple trails cross or parallel sections of the brook on the approach to Round Mountain, Dix, and the Great Range, but there's no designated fishing access and the gradient keeps most anglers pointed toward the Ausable itself. If you're day-hiking out of Keene Valley in April, you're fording Roaring Brook — plan for wet boots.
