Stylers Brook.
Stylers Brook drains north through Keene — a tributary stream that feeds into the East Branch of the Ausable, threading through forest and private land with no formal public access or maintained trail system. The brook appears on DEC and USGS maps but remains functionally off the recreational grid: no stocking records, no documented fishery, no trailhead pull-offs. It's the kind of named water that exists in the Park's administrative record but not in its hiking or angling culture — more a landmark for property boundaries and hydrology than a destination. If you're tracing the Ausable watershed on a map, Stylers Brook is there; if you're planning a weekend, it isn't.
Stylers Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Jay Mountain and Big Lawler Mountain.
