Hartshorn Brook drains a wooded watershed in the southeastern Adirondacks, tributary to the Lake George basin — one of dozens of small named streams that feed the lake's eastern shoreline but rarely earn their own trailhead or angler's write-up. No known fish records, no established access, no marked trail along its course. It's the kind of water that appears on USGS quads and old DEC lists but lives mostly in the background — a seasonal artery threading private land and second-growth forest between the lake and the ridges inland. If you're poking around the back roads between Hague and Bolton Landing and see a culvert marked "Hartshorn," that's it.
