Hubbard Brook Ecosystem
Located in the White Mountain National Forest in central New Hampshire, within the town of Woodstock, the 31-square-kilometer (12 sq mi) bowl-shaped forested valley has hilly terrain, ranging from 222 to 1,015 meters (728 to 3,330 ft) in altitude. The forest comprises nine individual watersheds, each of which drains into Hubbard Brook, and then through Mirror Lake, before emptying into the Pemigewasset River near West Thornton.

Famous quotes containing the words hubbard and/or brook:
“Nobody ever forgets where he buried a hatchet.”
—Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
