Every named stream in the Adirondack Park — the feeder waters that line the High Peaks valleys and fill the ponds.
Haymeadow Brook runs through the Paradox Lake backcountry — one of the lower-profile drainages in a region better known for its glacial ponds and the roadside draw of Paradox Lake itself. The name suggests pastoral history, likely a hay farm or meadow clearing along the upper reach, though the drainage today is second-growth forest with no maintained trail access. Brook trout are the default assumption in these small Paradox tributaries, but without stocking records or angler reports this one stays off the fishing maps. If you're poking around the Paradox Lake Wild Forest and cross a culvert or bushwhack a feeder stream, this is the kind of water you're crossing — named, mapped, mostly forgotten.
