The Nubble, also know as Haystack Mountain, is a mountain located in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The mountain is part of the Twin Range of the White Mountains. The Nubble is flanked to the south by North Twin Mountain.
The Nubble stands within the watershed of the Ammonoosuc River, which drains into the upper Connecticut River, and into Long Island Sound in Connecticut. The east and southeast faces of the Nubble drain into the Little River, thence into the Ammonoosuc River. The northwest side of the Nubble drains into Haystack Brook, thence into the Ammonoosuc. The southwest end of the Nubble drains to the North Branch of the Gale River, another tributary of the Ammonoosuc River.
