North Branch Birch River
The North Branch Birch River is a 9.6-mile-long (15.4 km)[1] river in Aroostook County, Maine, in the United States. From the outlet of a small pond (47°04′31″N 68°47′52″W) in Maine Township 16, Range 8, WELS, it runs about 6 miles (10 km) east and about 3 miles (5 km) south to its confluence with the South Branch in the town of Eagle Lake to form the Birch River. It is part of the Fish River watershed, draining north to the Saint John River and ultimately southeast to the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada.
