Ninemile Creek is one of several small waterways in the Old Forge drainage that flows quietly through working forest, more likely to show up as a blue line on your DeLorme than as a destination. The name suggests an old surveyor's benchmark or logging-road mile marker — common nomenclature in this part of the western Adirondacks where creeks were originally valued for log drives, not trout. Without public access documentation or fish stocking records, this is the kind of water that stays local — crossed by snowmobile trail or spotted from a forest road, noted but not publicized. If you're poking around the Old Forge backcountry and cross it, you've found it the old way.
