Blow-me-down Brook is a 12.8-mile (20.6 km) long[1] stream located in western New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows to Long Island Sound.
Blow-me-down Brook begins near the northeast border of the town of
Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. The Blow-Me-Down Covered Bridge
crosses the brook at Squag City.
The watershed of Blow-me-down Brook extends to Croydon Mountain (sometimes known as Grantham Mountain and as Spruce Ball by most Cornish residents) in the northwestern corner of the town of Croydon, just east of the town's boundary with Cornish. The brook was dredged from a small dam at the northeastern edge of Cornish Flat to the bridge that crosses State Route 120. This was done sometime before 1945 in order to avoid flooding.
