Ninemile Creek runs through the Old Forge township in the western Adirondacks — one of dozens of named tributaries and outlet streams in a region defined more by its chain of lakes and the Fulton Chain drainage than by its creeks. The name suggests an older surveyor's or logger's reference point, likely tied to distance from a settlement or mill site, but the creek itself doesn't appear in contemporary paddling or fishing reports. No public access points are documented, and it's likely a small feeder or outlet stream tucked into private land or state forest without developed recreation infrastructure. If you're fishing or exploring the Old Forge backcountry and come across it, tag your notes — local knowledge on these smaller waters is always worth sharing.
