Black Mountain Brook drains a ridge system south of Indian Lake village — a small tributary network that feeds into the Cedar River drainage before it reaches the main reservoir. The stream runs through mixed hardwood forest in the mid-elevation belt where the southern Adirondacks flatten out into longer valleys and wider watersheds; this is working forest country, not the granite cirques of the High Peaks. No fish data on record, no formal trail access, no reason to seek it out unless you're piecing together old logging roads or doing wetland survey work for the state. If you're looking for brook trout water near Indian Lake, stay with the Cedar River or push north toward the Boreas drainage.
