Hospital Creek

Hospital Creek is a small tributary in the Paradox Lake drainage — one of dozens of named streams threading through the eastern Adirondack lowlands between Schroon Lake and Lake Champlain. The creek picks up water from wetlands and hillside seeps east of Paradox Lake and feeds into the larger Paradox Creek system, which eventually drains north into the Boquet River watershed. No formal access or trail system; it crosses backcountry and private land in a region better known for its lakes than its moving water. If you're passing through on NY-74, you'll cross it without fanfare — a culvert stream doing quiet work in a valley named for the geology, not the fishing.
