This unnamed tributary of Fort Pond Brook drains from the area around Mt. Calvary Church, flowing between backyards of fully developed residential-only land that empties into Fort Pond Brook. Near the Spencer Street end the stream is sandy but crowded by shallow backyards. Only 3-4 houses are using the stream bank as a place to pile debris. There are clumps of dark green algae nearby. The main channel of the stream is hard to follow due to the quantity of vegetation and fallen trees. As the stream progresses down, and backyards become larger, the water spreads out creating areas of hummock grasses and stands of skunk cabbage. All pipes leading into the stream appear to carry surface drainage from yards, driveways or streets. There is an access to the stream on a couple of lots on Lothrop Rd. where "car litter" appears. Near the Fort Pond Brook end of the stream the residences become far enough away to allow people to meet to drink, evidenced by piles of bottles and cans. Water is clear; odors are only of rotting vegetation. Only one resident would not grant access to their yard to make visual contact with the stream.
