Ellis River (New Hampshire)

Ellis River (New Hampshire)

.

The Ellis River rises on the eastern slopes of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States. Flowing south, it is quickly joined by the Cutler River flowing out of Tuckerman and Huntington ravines, passes over Crystal Cascade, and reaches the floor of Pinkham Notch. The river leaves the level ground at the high point of the notch by dropping over Glen Ellis Falls, then continues south into the town of Jackson, New Hampshire, through a gradually widening valley. Leaving the small intervale at Jackson village, the Ellis River drops over a hydroelectric dam at Goodrich Falls and reaches the Saco River near the village of Glen in the town of Bartlett.

New Hampshire Route 16 follows the Ellis River from the height of land in Pinkham Notch south to Glen.
