Peacock Brook threads through the southern Adirondack lowlands near Great Sacandaga Lake — one of dozens of small tributaries feeding the reservoir system that reshaped this corner of the Park in the 1930s. The stream likely holds wild brookies in its upper reaches, though no recent survey data is on record and access depends on private landowner tolerance or old logging roads that may or may not still be passable. For most paddlers and anglers, Peacock Brook is a name on the DeLorme rather than a destination — but that's the taxonomy of a place like this: not every water needs to be a trailhead.
