The Mad River is a 1.4-mile-long (2.3 km) mountain brook on the Maine –New Hampshire border in the United States , within the eastern White Mountains .[1] It is a tributary of the Cold River , part of the Saco River watershed .
The Mad River rises in New Hampshire in the col between West Royce and East Royce mountains, at an elevation of 2,500 feet (760 m) above sea level . The river quickly drops to the south down the slopes of Royce Mountain, entering Maine and dropping over Mad River Falls, a 70-foot-tall (21 m) cascade.[2] The river joins the Cold River in the floor of Evans Notch , a narrow pass through the White Mountains.
