The Ellis is a beautiful river. It begins at approximately 4,600 feet above sea level near the famous Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines of rugged Mount Washington.
From here it runs roughly 17 miles and descends over 4,000 feet before terminating at the Saco River in Glen. The Ellis is joined by the Cutler River at 2,400 feet, and the New River at just over 2,000 feet. Below here it parallels Route 16, tumbles over the 60-foot Glen Ellis Falls, and continues its steep descent. This stretch, which extends to Jackson village, is the quintessential New England mountain stream. Mica-flecked granite boulders glisten under the stream’s crystal-clear flow. The water teems with brightly colored brook trout.
