Furnace Brook runs through the town of Keene — a working stream in a valley better known for its High Peaks trailheads and its cluster of inns and outfitters along NY-73. The name suggests early iron-smelting operations, a common thread in Adirondack settlement history, though the forges are long gone and the brook itself flows quietly through private and state land without the trailhead signage that marks more public waters. It's the kind of stream you cross on a bushwhack or glimpse from the roadside — present in the drainage, part of the local hydrology, but not a destination in its own right. No fish data on file, no established access points.
