Every named stream in the Adirondack Park — the feeder waters that line the High Peaks valleys and fill the ponds.
Clear Pond Inlet is the unnamed feeder stream connecting Clear Pond to Paradox Lake — a short, low-gradient run through the wooded corridor between the two waters in the Paradox Lake Wild Forest. It's the kind of seasonal connector that moves quietly in spring and early summer, then drops to a trickle by August, more marsh than stream in dry years. No formal trails track the inlet, and the shorelines are thick with alder and black spruce — better approached by boat from either end than bushwhacked from the road. If you're paddling Paradox Lake and looking for the inlet mouth, aim for the northwest corner of the lake where the shoreline flattens and the water shallows.
Crowfoot Brook runs through the Paradox Lake region — a corner of the eastern Adirondacks defined by working forests, low ridges, and water that drains toward Lake Champlain rather than the Hudson. The stream is small enough that it doesn't anchor any known public access or fishery designation, but it's part of the quiet drainage network that feeds the Schroon River watershed. If you're poking around logging roads or tracing blue lines on a topo between Paradox and Schroon, you'll cross it — more likely by accident than design.
