Halls Stream orRivière Hall is a 25.2-mile-long (40.6 km)[1] tributary of theConnecticut River in easternNorth America. For most of its length, it forms theCanada–United States border, with the province ofQuebec (Canada) to its west and the state ofNew Hampshire (United States) to its east.

Geography

[edit]

The stream flows from north to south, with alogging landscape on the New Hampshire side, and a mixture of woodland and farms on the Quebec side. Near the southern end of the stream, the international boundary diverges from Halls Stream and heads west, along a line which, when it was originally surveyed, was intended to be on the45th parallel. South of this line, Halls Stream enters the state ofVermont, flowing through the town ofCanaan inEssex County for a little over a half mile. In the village ofBeecher Falls, Vermont, it empties into the Connecticut River (which forms the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire).

Where Halls Stream forms the international border, it divides the following municipalities:
