Milton's Pine Tree Brook
The quiet little brook that flows for 10 miles
from the Milton Blue Hills all the way to the Neponset River.
Welcome to the Pine Tree Brook Website
The Pine Tree Brook, which originates in the Blue Hills of Milton, Massachusetts, travels approximately ten miles before it eventually converges with the Neponset River. On a typical day, the brook calmly meanders through the neighborhood, often remaining unnoticed. However, its significance becomes evident during rainstorms as it serves as a conduit, channeling excess water from drainage pipes and guiding it into the brook. Sadly, the undesirable reality is that the once naturally pristine waters from the Blue Hills now discharges the polluted drainage into the Neponset River.
2 inches of rain in a 24 hour period can turn the brook into a Raging River.
The beginning of the Pine Tree Brook
The origin of Pine Tree Brook starts at Hillside Pond, which is located near the intersection of Chickataubut Road and Hillside Street in the Milton Blue Hills area. As Hillside Pond fills up, it flows over a small dam outlet that passes through a stone conduit underneath Hillside Street, and it is from this point that the brook starts to take its shape.
