Peskowesk Brook is a tributary within the greater Mersey River watershed, flowing through Kejimkujik National Park and Historic Site in Nova Scotia, Canada. This brook forms the heart of the Peskowesk sub-watershed, a stretch of water that holds particular ecological significance within the park. As part of a protected national park system, Peskowesk Brook offers anglers a chance to pursue native brook trout in a wild, relatively undisturbed setting surrounded by the natural beauty of Nova Scotia's interior. The brook has been the subject of fisheries research, with tagging studies involving over 200 individual fish conducted to better understand movement patterns and habitat use throughout the sub-watershed.

Brook trout in the Peskowesk sub-watershed have been documented concentrating near specific holding areas, particularly locations where cold-water refugia exist during summer. Deeper pools and areas with groundwater influence are the most reliable spots to find fish during warmer periods. The research conducted in this watershed specifically identified the Peskowesk Brook area as a zone where fish movement and holding behavior is pronounced, suggesting that the confluence areas and deeper pool sections of the brook are worth prioritizing.
