Every named river in the Adirondack Park — the Hudson, the Moose, the Raquette, the Sacandaga, and the rivers that drain the High Peaks.
Miami River drains a quiet drainage west of Speculator, running north through mixed hardwood and softwood before emptying into the Sacandaga River system — one of those named flows that appears on the DEC gazetteer but rarely in conversation. No formal access points, no stocked fish data, no trailhead parking — it's a tributary you cross on logging roads or encounter while hunting the back country between Piseco and Wells. The name suggests an old surveyor's inside joke or a long-forgotten mapmaker's reference, but the river itself is working water — moving snowmelt in April, dropping to a trickle by August, logged over at least once in the last century.
