Hickok Brook threads through the eastern Lake George backcountry — a small tributary system in a region better known for its named ponds and the big water itself. No angler reports on file, no designated campsites, no trailhead signs with the brook's name on them. It's the kind of seasonal flow that shows up on the quad map but stays off the weekend itinerary: a navigation landmark for bushwhackers, a cold-water seam in the woods, maybe a brook trout nursery in the headwaters if the gradient's right and the canopy's intact. If you cross it, you'll know it by the stones and the sound.
