Berry Pond Brook.
Berry Pond Brook drains a small upland drainage in the Lake George Wild Forest — a tributary system you'd cross rather than seek out, notable mainly for its role in the larger watershed rather than as a destination. The stream flows through second-growth hardwood forest typical of the southern Adirondacks, connecting a series of wetlands and beaver meadows before feeding into the Lake George basin. No maintained trails follow the brook itself, and access is largely a bushwhack proposition for anglers or wetland ecologists working the drainage. If you're looking for moving water in this corner of the park, the better-known trout streams lie farther north and east.
Berry Pond Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Kenyon Mountain and Patent Line Mountain.
