Dry Brook.
Dry Brook is a tributary stream in the Lake George watershed — one of dozens of small seasonal drainages that feed the lake from the surrounding hills, most of them unnamed on USGS quads and known only to locals walking old woods roads or tracking property lines. The name suggests intermittent flow, common for these smaller feeders that run hard in spring snowmelt and early summer storms, then drop to a trickle or dry bed by late August. No fishing records, no formal trails, no known public access points — this is working forest and private land country, not recreational water. If you're looking for a named brook to hike or fish in the Lake George region, start with Shelving Rock Brook or Northwest Bay Brook instead.
Dry Brook has public access.
