Mosquito Creek

Mosquito Creek drains into the Great Sacandaga Lake system — one of dozens of small tributaries that feed the reservoir from the surrounding low hills and working forest. The name suggests what you'd expect: slow water, marshy margins, seasonal flow that peaks with snowmelt and spring rains. No formal access or maintained trail — this is the kind of stream you cross on logging roads or encounter while hunting the buffer lands around the lake. If you're launching from one of the Sacandaga's public boat launches, you'll pass the creek mouth without noticing it.
