Deming Creek threads through the southern Adirondack fringe near Great Sacandaga Lake — part of the quieter, lower-elevation drainage that feeds the reservoir system rather than the rock-and-summit country to the north. The stream itself doesn't appear in most fishing or paddling reports, which suggests either limited public access or water too small and seasonal to hold much beyond the spring melt. If you're hunting it down, start with DEC atlases and local topo maps — many of these Sacandaga tributaries cross private land or run through scrubby second-growth where the old logging roads have long since grown over. Worth a look if you're already in the area; don't make it the reason you drive two hours.
