TheZealand River is a 6.3-mile-long (10.1 km)[1] river in theWhite Mountains ofNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is a tributary of theAmmonoosuc River and part of theConnecticut Riverwatershed.
The Zealand River rises on the eastern slopes ofMount Hale[2] in the town ofBethlehem, New Hampshire, and drops to the southeast into the center ofZealand Notch, where it turns north. It is paralleled first by the Zealand Trail, a hiking trail, and then by Zealand Road, maintained by theWhite Mountain National Forest. The river valley separates Mount Hale to the west fromMount Tom to the east. Farther north, the Rosebrook Mountains overlook the river to the east, and the smallpegmatite knobs of South, Middle, and North Sugarloaf rise to the west. The river passes the national forest Zealand Campground and reaches the Ammonoosuc River just east of the village ofTwin Mountain in the town ofCarroll.
