The East Branch of the Pemigewasset River is a 15.8-mile-long (25.4 km)White Mountains of New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Pemigewasset River, part of the Merrimack River watershed.
The East Branch is a longer and larger river than the river that it flows into, but it is named a branch of the main stem because its source lies deep in the
Kancamagus Highway stretch of New Hampshire Route 112
.
Now into developed areas, the East Branch meets the Hancock Branch coming from the southeast and flows past the Loon Mountain ski area to the village of Lincoln, New Hampshire. The river crosses into Woodstock and ends at the Pemigewasset River just downstream from the Interstate 93 highway bridges.
