Ferguson Brook.
Ferguson Brook drains through the eastern Lake George watershed — one of dozens of small tributary streams that feed the lake from the surrounding ridges and valleys. No fish data on record, no mapped trail access, no DEC camping infrastructure in the immediate corridor. It's the kind of stream that shows up on the USGS quad as a blue line and in the regional hydrology as a seasonal meltwater contributor, but not as a destination — a named water in the directory for completeness, not because you're planning a trip around it.
Ferguson Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Wegley Mountain and Bald Mountain.
