Every named stream in the Adirondack Park — the feeder waters that line the High Peaks valleys and fill the ponds.
Klondike Brook drains the slopes northeast of Lake Placid village — a small tributary system feeding into the Chubb River watershed before ultimately reaching the West Branch of the Ausable. The name carries Gold Rush-era optimism, though any mining history here is more folklore than record. Most locals know it as a crossing or a reference point rather than a destination: the kind of brook that shows up on a topo map, runs high in April, and drops to a trickle by late summer. No formal trails follow the brook itself, but it threads through the working forest east of the Olympic village, where logging roads and private parcels dominate the drainage.
