The 'Little Dead Diamond River' is a 7.1
mile long (11.4
km)
river in northern
New Hampshire in the
United States. It is a tributary of the
Dead Diamond River, located in the
Androscoggin River watershed of
Maine and New Hampshire.
The Little Dead Diamond River rises in the town of
Clarksville, New Hampshire near the north end of ''Crystal Mountain'', a seven mile long ridge with elevations ranging from 2,400 to 3,300 feet above sea level. ''Mount Pisgah'' (3,081 ft) lies just to the north of the headwaters. The river flows east into the
Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant, where it is joined by its
west branch. The river then enters the
Dartmouth College Grant and is joined by its
south branch. The Little Dead Diamond then turns north, reenters the Atkinson and Gilmanton Grant, and joins the Dead Diamond River near the rapids and old logging camp known as Hell Gate.
