The Brooks

Three Brooks is named after Three Brooks Cove. Two of our brooks flow in from Five Island Lake Run while the third brook flows from Holland Marsh Lake and Black Duck Pond. These brooks are unusual and possibly unique to the area. They are pure undamaged glacial streams. The glacial stream beds are composed of granite rock boulders, smoothed and shaped over thousands of years, creating natural retention ponds that filter out silt and slow the stream’s wash. During the summer months our brooks “go underground” and become “hidden rivers.” In August you can walk along the stream bed, but below your feet you can see and hear the water flowing. Fish navigate through the rocks, under the stream bed, even in dry summer months.
