Nash Stream is a 15.3-mile-long (24.6 km)[1] river in northernNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is a tributary of theUpper Ammonoosuc River and part of theConnecticut Riverwatershed.
Nash Stream rises on the western slopes of Whitcomb Mountain in the township ofOdell, New Hampshire, and flows west briefly into the town ofColumbia before turning south-southwest to flow through Odell and the town ofStratford, joining the Upper Ammonoosuc River in the town ofStark. Near its headwaters, it passes through Nash Bog Pond, an extensive marshy area which used to be a large pond closed by a dam. The dam washed out in the 1960s. Nearly the entire stream is within the boundaries of theNash Stream Forest, owned by the state of New Hampshire.
The Nash Streamwatershed is surrounded by mountains. The most commonly hiked are North and SouthPercy Peaks, barrensummits offering extensive views reached by a trail, and Sugarloaf, reached by a trail which formerly gave access to a fire tower.
