The 'Ham Branch' of the
Gale River is a 12.2
mile long (19.7
km)
river in northwestern
New Hampshire in the
United States. Via the Gale River, it is a tributary of the
Ammonoosuc River and part of the
Connecticut River watershed.
The Ham Branch rises in the town of
Easton, New Hampshire and flows north through a valley at the western base of the
Kinsman Range of the
White Mountains. The river collects such tributaries as Reel Brook, Slide Brook, and Coppermine Brook before joining the Gale River in the village of
Franconia.
New Hampshire Route 116 follows the Ham Branch for nearly its entire course.
