Little Salman River.
Little Salman River is a small tributary drainage in the Saranac Lake region — one of those named streams that appears on DEC maps but rarely gets mentioned in trip reports or fishing logs. No public data on fish populations, and access likely means bushwhacking or following old logging routes rather than maintained trail. The river feeds into the broader Saranac watershed, part of the network of cold-water streams that lace through the northern Adirondacks between the High Peaks and the St. Regis Canoe Area. Worth knowing if you're studying drainage patterns or piecing together a remote bushwhack route — otherwise, it stays off most paddlers' and anglers' lists.
