Shingle Shanty Brook.
Shingle Shanty Brook drains through the Raquette Lake township — a named tributary in the wider Raquette watershed, but one without the trailhead signage or angler attention of the bigger feeder streams. The name suggests an old logging camp or temporary shelter site, common vernacular in a region that was clear-cut and river-driven through the late 1800s, but no specific history survives in the usual sources. Like most small Adirondack brooks, it likely holds wild brookies in the upper reaches if the gradient allows pools to form. Best treated as a map reference rather than a destination — useful if you're studying drainage patterns or piecing together old timber-era routes.
Shingle Shanty Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Home Hill.
