Mill Creek threads through the town of Speculator — a small stream network that feeds into the Sacandaga drainage, more of a local landmark than a destination water. No fish stocking records on file, no formal trail access noted in the DEC inventory, but these tributaries often hold wild brookies in the headwater stretches if you're willing to bushwhack upstream from a road crossing. The name shows up on USGS quads and in old timber-era maps, a reminder that most of the water in the Park was once working infrastructure — log drives, mill power, settlement water. Check the Speculator quad if you're chasing down the exact run; it's the kind of stream you find by knowing where the old mills stood.
