Trout Brook.
Trout Brook drains a quiet corner of the Paradox Lake region — one of dozens of small streams feeding the Schroon River watershed from the eastern slope of the Adirondacks. The name suggests native brook trout at some point in its history, though current fish presence isn't documented and access details are thin on the ground. These smaller tributaries often run through private land or old forest roads with no formal trailhead, meaning a topo map and a willingness to bushwhack are your best tools. Worth a look if you're already in the area and chasing blue lines, but don't expect maintained trail infrastructure or designated camping.
Trout Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Bear Mountain and Three Brothers.
