The Branch

The Branch

The Branch is a 2.6 mile long (4.2 km) [ [http://www.granit.sr.unh.edu New Hampshire GRANIT state geographic information system] ] river located entirely in the city of 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 and Minnewawa Brook and was sometimes considered in the past to be part of Otter Brook. A 1982 decision by the federal Board on Geographic Names established the name "The Branch".

The Branch is paralleled for its entire length by New Hampshire Route 101.
