Teakettle Brook drains the eastern flanks of the High Peaks between Keene and Keene Valley — one of dozens of unnamed or lightly-documented tributaries that feed the East Branch of the Ausable River as it cuts through the valley. The name suggests local usage rather than official DEC designation, and like many small Adirondack streams, it likely runs high and fast during spring melt, then settles into a series of mossy cascades and pocket pools by midsummer. No fish data on record, but the gradient and cold water make it textbook native brook trout habitat if the stream holds any resident population at all. Worth a look if you're piecing together the hydrology of the Ausable watershed or chasing small water with a short rod.
