Spuytenduivel Brook.
Spuytenduivel Brook runs through the Brant Lake region with the kind of name that hints at old Dutch land grants and pre-Revolutionary cartography — a rare thing this far north in the Park. The stream doesn't appear on most recreational fishing or paddling lists, and without documented access points or species data, it lives in that quiet category of named waters that serve the watershed more than they serve weekend plans. If you're poking around the Brant Lake area and cross a culvert or trailside stream with no obvious signage, there's a decent chance you've found it. Check the DEC's stream corridor map or ask at the town clerk's office in Horicon for legal access — small brooks like this often flow through private land with no public easement.
Spuytenduivel Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Third Brother and Stevens Mountain.
