Overlook / Halfway Brook Trail.
The Overlook / Halfway Brook Trail appears in the Adirondack trail network without published length data, suggesting either a very short connector or an unmapped segment awaiting formal documentation. Halfway Brook drains the southern slopes of the Sentinel Range Wilderness, so any trail bearing its name likely accesses that watershed or provides a viewpoint over it.
