Moose Brook is a 4.7-mile-long (7.6 km)[1]stream in northernNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is a tributary of theAndroscoggin River, which flows south and east intoMaine, joining theKennebec River near theAtlantic Ocean.
Moose Brook rises in the town ofRandolph, in Ice Gulch, a sharp notch in the Crescent Range in the northernWhite Mountains. The floor of Ice Gulch is filled with giant, angular boulders under which ice can stay present throughout the summer. Moose Brook exits the gulch by dropping over Peboamauk Fall, then continues east throughMoose Brook State Park to reach the Androscoggin River in the town ofGorham, New Hampshire.[2] The brook should not be confused with theMoose River, which enters the Androscoggin less than one mile downstream of Moose Brook.
