Chester Creek runs through the Brant Lake township in the southeastern Adirondacks — a small tributary system that drains into Brant Lake proper from the west. The creek sits outside the designated wilderness areas and flows through a mix of private land and low-traffic state forest, which makes access scattered and informal rather than trailhead-based. No DEC fish stocking records on file, though the upper reaches hold the kind of cold, tannin-stained pocket water that historically runs wild brookies in similar southeastern ADK drainages. If you're already on Brant Lake, the creek mouth is worth a look in spring when tributary flows pull fish in from the main body.
