Man Shanty Brook.
Man Shanty Brook drains east into Lake George somewhere in the middle stretch of the lake's eastern shore — a small tributary in a region dense with seasonal camps and private shoreline. The name likely traces to an old hunting or logging shelter, though no public record pins down the site or the decade. No known public access, no trout stocking data, no trail corridor — this is one of dozens of similar feeder streams that appear on the topo but live entirely behind camp gates and POSTED signs. If you're paddling the east shore of Lake George and see a narrow inlet between docks, that's the general idea.
Man Shanty Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Jones Mountain and White Mountain.
