The brook is formed by the confluence of several smaller streams, including Stony Brook and Wigwam Brook, and flows into the Neponset River. There are several dams along the brook, including the historic Mother Brook Dam, which was built by early settlers in 1639. The flow of water in the brook varies seasonally, with higher flows during wetter months and lower flows during drier months. Interestingly, the Mother Brook is known as America's first man-made canal, as it was created by early colonists to help transport goods between the Charles and Neponset Rivers.
