Silver Run.
Silver Run threads through the Raquette Lake township drainage — a named tributary in a region dense with inlet streams feeding the Raquette Lake basin and the Fulton Chain system to the south. No public access data on file, no formal trail corridor, and no species records in the DEC survey archive — typical for smaller feeder streams in this part of the Park where the named waters far outnumber the documented ones. The name appears on USGS quads and in the GNIS register, but field details remain scarce. If you're poking around the Raquette Lake backcountry and cross a cold, clear run moving through mixed hardwoods, there's a chance you've found it.
Silver Run has public access. Summits nearby include Little Moose Mountain and Cellar Mountain.
