TheRocky Branch is a 13.1-mile-long (21.1 km)^[1]river in theWhite Mountains ofNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is atributary of theSaco River, which flows to theAtlantic Ocean inMaine.

The Rocky Branch rises in the Presidential Range Dry River Wilderness Area of theWhite Mountain National Forest on the southernmost slopes ofMount Washington. The river drops rapidly to the south through a valley between Montalban Ridge (with the peaks ofMount Isolation and Stairs Mountain) to the west and the lower Rocky Branch Ridge to the east. Turning more to the southeast, the river leaves the national forest and enters the town ofBartlett, New Hampshire, where it joins the Saco River after passing underU.S. Route 302.

The Rocky Branch Railroad supported a logging operation in the valley from 1908 to 1913. The rails were removed in 1914 after the area was ravaged by wildfires.^[2]
