Putnam Creek

Putnam Creek threads through the Paradox Lake region — a quietly named tributary in a watershed known more for its larger lakes than its moving water. The creek flows without fanfare through mixed hardwood and hemlock, one of dozens of small feeders that knit together the eastern Adirondacks below the High Peaks corridor. No fish data on file, no designated access, no established camping — it exists in that middle category of Adirondack streams that see occasional bushwhacking anglers and through-hikers but never crowds. If you're exploring the back roads between Schroon Lake and Ticonderoga, cross-reference the DeLorme and look for bridge crossings.
