Indian Brook drains south through the hamlet of Brant Lake before emptying into Brant Lake proper — one of those roadside streams that shows up on the quad map but sees most of its use as a trout-stocking corridor in early spring. No formal trail access or designated fishing spots; most anglers fish it where County Route 8 crosses the stream or work upstream from the public beach at the south end of Brant Lake. The brook runs cold enough in April and May to hold stocked brookies and browns for a few weeks, but by mid-June it's shallow pocket water. Check DEC stocking reports before you make the drive.
