Lindsey Brook.
Lindsey Brook runs through the Paradox Lake basin — part of the northeast Adirondack drainage system that feeds into the lake and eventually the Schroon River. The stream's name appears on USGS quads but little public documentation exists about access points, fishery potential, or trail crossings — it's one of dozens of tributaries in the region that serve more as watershed arteries than recreation destinations. If you're poking around the Paradox Lake shoreline or exploring old logging roads in the area, you might cross it; otherwise it's a map name more than a known feature. No fish data on file, no formal access, no reason to plan a trip around it.
Lindsey Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Saunders Mountain and Bear Mountain.
