Robinson Brook.
Robinson Brook drains the high country between Keene and the Ausable valleys — one of dozens of unnamed or little-known feeder streams that quietly gather snowmelt and deliver it downslope to larger drainages. No maintained trail follows it, no lean-to marks its banks, and it doesn't appear on most recreation maps, which makes it typical of the Park's network of minor tributaries: ecologically critical, hydrologically productive, and entirely off the radar for anyone not consulting a USGS quad. If you're bushwhacking between ridges in this region and hear moving water, it's likely Robinson Brook or one of its upstream forks.
