From Cowdrey Lane to Rte. 2, Conant Brook is bordered on both sides by residential yards. There are a lot of 20'-30' wide marshy areas next to the brook in this section. In many sections the water level is obviously much higher than normal, due to a beaver dam downstream which has recently been constructed. Just upstream of Rte. 2, the brook splits into two branches, passes under Rte. 2 through two culverts, and rejoins again downstream of Rte.2.

Between Rte. 2 and the high school the brook is bounded by narrow marshes (5'-15' wide) all the way along. The marshes are bordered by trees, beyond which is Hayward Rd. on one side and soccer fields on the other side. The upstream end of this section is a pond which is about 50' wide and 300' long.
