Every named stream in the Adirondack Park — the feeder waters that line the High Peaks valleys and fill the ponds.
Alder Brook flows through the Saranac Lake region — one of dozens of small, named tributaries that drain the lowland forest between the lake chains and the higher ground to the south and east. The name suggests alder thickets along the banks, classic brook trout cover in slower water, though no fish survey data is on file. These minor brooks rarely appear on recreational lists but matter to the watershed — they're the capillaries that feed the Saranac system and mark old property lines, hunting camps, and logging routes from the turn of the last century.
