South Meadow Brook drains the broad valley floor south of Keene — a tributary system that collects snowmelt and spring runoff from the low ridges between Pitchoff Mountain and the Sentinel Range before feeding into the East Branch of the Ausable River. It's the kind of water you cross on an unmarked woods walk or bushwhack rather than seek out as a destination: shallow, braided in places, overhung with alder in summer. No trout records on file, but the character of the drainage suggests native brookies in the headwater reaches where the gradient picks up and the substrate shifts to cobble. Worth noting for anyone piecing together larger watershed routes or exploring the untrailed corridors east of Keene Valley proper.
