Shanty Bottom Brook runs through the Schroon Lake region — a tributary stream in the southeastern Adirondacks where named waters often mark old settlement patterns or logging-era nomenclature more than modern recreation traffic. The "Shanty Bottom" tag suggests either a nineteenth-century logging camp or a squatter's cabin site along the drainage, though no public access or trail infrastructure is documented here. Brook trout are the default assumption in unnamed feeder streams at this elevation, but no stocking or survey records confirm it. If you're driving NY-9 or poking around USGS quads in the Schroon corridor, this is the kind of blue line that shows up on the map but not in any trailhead register.
