Limekiln Creek.
Limekiln Creek runs through the Town of Webb near Old Forge — one of several small tributaries in the Moose River drainage that carry the region's logging and industrial history in their names. The creek's watershed sits in the working-forest belt west of the central High Peaks, where the topography flattens and the paddling routes outnumber the hiking trails. No fish data on record, no formal access points in the state directory — likely a feeder stream crossed by seasonal logging roads or older rail grades. If you're chasing it down, start with the Old Forge Visitor Center or the town clerk's office for easement intel.
Limekiln Creek has public access. Summits nearby include Mount Tom and Fawn Lake Mountain.
