Every named stream in the Adirondack Park — the feeder waters that line the High Peaks valleys and fill the ponds.
Lansing Kill flows through the Old Forge sector — a named stream in the network of waterways that drain the western Adirondacks, though specifics on size, access, and angling pressure remain thin on the ground. The "kill" suffix (Dutch for creek or channel) places it in the colonial-era naming tradition that shows up across upstate New York, a cartographic fossil in a region now better known for Iroquois placenames and 19th-century surveyor labels. Without documented trout populations or established put-in points, this one lives in the margins — a tributary worth knowing by name if you're tracing watersheds or chasing brookies into unmapped headwaters. Check the DEC stream list and USGS quads if you're planning to bushwhack it.
Lansing Kill runs through the western edge of the Old Forge region — one of the smaller named tributaries in a drainage network dominated by the Moose River and its larger feeders. Without established fishery data or formal access points on record, it sits in that middle tier of Adirondack streams: named on the map, but not marked by a trailhead sign or a DEC stocking report. Most likely a seasonal feeder or a short connector between wetlands, the kind of water you cross on a bushwhack or notice from a dirt road without ever planning a trip around it. If you're working this drainage for native brookies, focus upstream toward cooler, higher-gradient water.
Limekiln Creek drains southwest out of Limekiln Lake toward the Moose River — a quiet, tannic flow through mixed hardwood and hemlock corridors in the western edge of the Old Forge Wild Forest. The creek sees minimal foot traffic compared to the lakes and ponds it connects, but it's a known route for paddlers linking water-to-water in the southwestern Adirondacks. No fish species data on record, though the surrounding watershed holds brookies and the occasional brown trout in cooler stretches. Access typically follows informal routes off nearby forest roads or via put-in points along the Moose River Plains network.
Limekiln Creek runs through the Town of Webb near Old Forge — one of several small tributaries in the Moose River drainage that carry the region's logging and industrial history in their names. The creek's watershed sits in the working-forest belt west of the central High Peaks, where the topography flattens and the paddling routes outnumber the hiking trails. No fish data on record, no formal access points in the state directory — likely a feeder stream crossed by seasonal logging roads or older rail grades. If you're chasing it down, start with the Old Forge Visitor Center or the town clerk's office for easement intel.
Little Black Creek drains a stretch of low country west of Old Forge — one of dozens of small tributaries that feed the Moose River or Black River watersheds depending on where you are in the system. The name shows up on USGS quads but not in most guidebooks; it's the kind of stream you cross on a woods road or notice from a culvert rather than seek out as a destination. No fish data on record, which likely means it's either small enough to be unmapped by DEC surveys or intermittent enough that stocking was never in the calculus. If you're paddling or fishing the Old Forge lakes and hear the name in passing, it's probably a local reference — not a marked trailhead.
Little Moose Outlet drains Little Moose Lake into the Moose River system west of Old Forge — a short, shallow connector that moves through lowland forest and beaver-worked margins before joining the main stem. It's not a destination water in the way Little Moose Lake is, but it's visible from the access routes and occasionally fished by anglers moving between the lake and downstream pools. The outlet runs slower and warmer than the mountain streams east of town, with muddy banks and wood snags typical of low-gradient Adirondack drainage. No formal put-ins, no trail names — just the working topography between two named waters.
Little Woodhull Creek runs through the western working forest between Old Forge and the Moose River Plains — part of the Tug Hill transition zone where state land fragments into private timber tracts and the paddling routes give way to logging roads. The creek feeds into the broader Woodhull Lake drainage, a system better known for its remote ponds than its feeder streams. No fish data on file, no formal trail access in the DEC inventory — this is a drainage you find on a topo map, not a trailhead kiosk. If you're out here, you're likely navigating by compass or following a unmarked woods road that may or may not still be passable.
