Halls Stream
Coordinates: 45°00′29″N 71°30′15″W / 45.0081°N 71.5043°W Halls Stream is a 25.2 mile long (40.5 km)[1] tributary of the Connecticut River. For most of its length, it forms the boundary between Canada and the United States, with the province of Quebec to its west and the state of New Hampshire to its east.
The stream flows from north to south, with a logging landscape on the New Hampshire side, and a mixture of woodland and farms on the Quebec side. Near the southern end of the stream, the international boundary diverges from Halls Stream and heads west (along a line which, when it was originally surveyed, was intended to be on the 45th parallel). South of this line, Halls Stream enters the state of Vermont and flows through it for a little over a half-mile. In the village of Beecher Falls it empties into the Connecticut River (which forms the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire).
Historically, Halls Stream factored into an international boundary dispute in this area, and it formed part of the border of the so-called Republic of Indian Stream.
