The Branch
The Branch is a river located entirely in the city of Keene, New Hampshire, Keene, in southwestern New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Ashuelot River, itself a tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows to Long Island Sound. While itself a very short river, The Branch is formed by the confluence of the much-longer Otter Brook (Ashuelot River), Otter Brook and Minnewawa Brook and was sometimes considered in the past to be part of Otter Brook.
