Stewart Brook.
Stewart Brook drains a low-elevation watershed in the southeastern Adirondacks, flowing through the wooded outskirts of the Lake George region before reaching its confluence with the lake's southern basin. It's not a trout water with a track record — no species data on file — and it doesn't anchor any named trails or backcountry camping zones. Most people cross it without knowing its name, on a back road or a snowmobile corridor. If you're looking for moving water with fish and access, the outlet streams farther north on Lake George deliver more reliable results.
Stewart Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Federal Hill and Cat Mountain.
