About Smalls Brook
Smalls Brook is a small fresh water tributary that originates in the Frasers Mountain area and flows east through the communities of Pine Tree and Woodburn, and then empties into Merigomish Harbour, north of Quarry Island.
Historically, the name was originally known as “Small Brook”, but later standardized to Smalls Brook in 1976 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada
It helps form part of the intricate network of brooks and streams that drain through the county’s rolling uplands toward the Northumberland Strait. The banks of Pine Tree Brook are typically lined with spruce, fir, and hardwoods, creating a shaded corridor that supports songbirds, small mammals, and a variety of wetland plants.
