Hog Brook

This stream owes its name to the water-loving scrub oak which grow along the margins of the brook and yield a fine harvest of acorns in fall. Some farmers drive their pigs here to feast on the wood's bounty. Over time some have escaped, and the neighboring woods is now home to many wild Razorbacks. Only the northern third of the brook is thus foraged, farmers fearing to drive their herds further south.
