Wolf Hollow Creek.
Wolf Hollow Creek drains through forested backcountry west of Speculator — one of the dozens of unnamed or lightly-documented streams that feed the Sacandaga drainage without much fanfare. No fish data on record, no marked trailheads, no DEC campsite inventory — this is the kind of water that shows up on the quad map but not in the guidebooks. If you're bushwhacking or following old logging routes in the area, you'll cross it; otherwise it stays off the list. Worth noting only because it's named, and because every named water in the Park gets a page here.
