Barretts
Brook is the "far east" branch of the Comstock Brook, running
parallel to the East Branch, but further to the east. It
flows through Wilton's largest open space park, the Town
Forest (north of Branch Brook Road), and then into Streets
Pond, which is part of the local drinking-water supply system.
A small stream, Mullens Brook,
enters Streets Pond from the west.

Barretts Brook goes over "Sheep Falls"
(supposedly where sheep used to be washed)
at the northeast corner of the Town Forest.
