North Bay Stream drains the northern shoreline wetlands of Long Lake, feeding into the main body of the lake somewhere in the expansive maze of marsh and alder thicket that defines the upper end of the Adirondack's longest lake. No formal access, no fisheries data, no reason to single it out unless you're paddling the bay's shallow fingers at dawn looking for herons or you're studying a topo map and trying to name every blue line. It's the kind of tributary that exists in the gap between *named water* and *drainage* — noted here because it has a name, not because it has a destination. If you're looking for moving water to fish or explore in the Long Lake area, stick to the Cold River inlet at the south end or Raquette River headwaters to the west.
