Clendon Brook.
Clendon Brook drains a quiet corner of the Lake George Wild Forest — one of those unnamed tributaries that shows up on the DEC map but rarely in conversation. No trailhead signs, no lean-tos, no stocking records — just a thread of water working its way through mixed hardwoods toward the lake. If you're bushwhacking ridgelines or poking around old logging roads in the region, you'll cross it eventually; otherwise, it stays off the list. Worth noting only because it has a name, which in the Adirondacks usually means someone once built something, cut something, or fished something nearby.
Clendon Brook has public access.
