Approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km) in length,[1] it is a tributary of the Ellis River, part of the Saco River watershed flowing to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine.
The river rises as two branches on the eastern slopes of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States. The western branch, identified as the main stem by some sources, begins in Tuckerman Ravine.[2] The northern branch, shown as the main stem by the U.S. Geological Survey,[3] flows out of Huntington Ravine. The two branches join approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km) east of the Hermit Lake structures in Tuckerman Ravine, and the river continues east down the side of Mount Washington, dropping over Crystal Cascade,[4] and joining the Ellis River at the base of the mountain in Pinkham Notch.
