Andrew Brook.
Andrew Brook threads through the Schroon Lake region with little fanfare — no DEC signage, no formal access points, no fish stocking records in the database. It's the kind of small Adirondack tributary that shows up on the quad map but rarely in trip reports, more likely crossed on a bushwhack or noticed from a car window than sought out as a destination. The name appears in old survey records, which means it mattered to someone once — a lumber-era landmark, a property line, a local reference point. If you're poking around the drainage, bring the topo; these unnamed feeder systems have a way of disappearing into alder thickets and beaver meadows.
Andrew Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Wolf Pond Mountain and Sand Pond Mountain.
