Beaverdam Brook.
Beaverdam Brook runs through the southeastern edge of the Adirondack Park near Lake George — one of dozens of small tributaries that feed the lake's watershed but rarely appear on hiking maps or fishing access guides. The name suggests beaver activity at some point in its history, though whether current populations are active depends on which stretch you're looking at and how recent the timber work has been. No formal access points or stocking records on file, which makes it the kind of water you cross on a bushwhack or notice from a back road rather than a destination in itself. If you're looking for named trout water in the Lake George region, start with Northwest Bay Brook or the ponds up toward Pharaoh Lake.
Beaverdam Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Bartlett Mountain.
