Every named river in the Adirondack Park — the Hudson, the Moose, the Raquette, the Sacandaga, and the rivers that drain the High Peaks.
The West Branch Goodnow River drains a quiet fold of forest south of Indian Lake — a tributary system that moves through working timberland and private holdings without the foot traffic or infrastructure of the better-known Indian Lake tributaries. It's not a named destination or a marked access point; most anglers who fish it are locals working upstream from the mainstem or hunters passing through during fall. The drainage feeds into the broader Goodnow River system before eventually reaching the Hudson River watershed. If you're looking for this one specifically, you're either off-trail or reading old survey maps.
