Wolf Brook
Coordinates: Lat 45.482986°N, Long 65.243719°W
Description: The moderate-sized brook mouth here meanders through several partially vegetated gravel bars as it flows out from a lush valley.
Nature Notes: This site has an interesting geological and human history, which are somewhat intertwined. The brook cuts through some richer igneous (volcanic rock) formations upstream, so it carries some semi-precious stones and others containing copper ores and even (very rarely) some gold. As is the story with a few sites along the bay, some attempts were made here long ago to pan for gold. Remnants of three logging water retention and diversion structures can also be observed here.
