Rock Cut Brook

Rock Cut Brook runs through the Keene valley watershed — a small tributary system feeding into the East Branch of the Ausable, tucked somewhere in the network of seasonal streams that drain the slopes between the High Peaks corridor and the valley floor. No public access data on file, no stocked fish, no trail intersections that make it onto the standard maps. It's the kind of water that shows up on USGS quads but not in guidebooks — a reference point for property lines and old logging roads, more useful to surveyors than to hikers. If you're bushwhacking the ridgelines above Keene, you've probably crossed it without knowing its name.
