Nettle Creek runs through the rolling backcountry south of Tupper Lake — one of dozens of tributary streams feeding the Raquette River drainage in this low-elevation, heavily forested section of the Park. The name suggests stinging nettle along the banks, a common enough marker in wet Adirondack corridors where moose browse and beaver work the edges. No formal access or fish records in the DEC system, which typically means private land crossing or a put-in known only to locals with property ties. If you're chasing it, start with the Tupper Lake town clerk's office or a USGS quad — creeks like this don't advertise themselves.
