Quebec Brook

From Historic Saranac Lake Wiki


Along the Quebec Brook

Quebec Brook is a ten-mile long brook that flows from Quebec Pond in Brandon through the Madawaska flow to the Saint Regis River.  There was a logging railroad spur of the Brooklyn Cooperage Railroad that ran along its south bank that connected with John Hurd's [Adirondack Railroad] and that was built to salvage timber west of the river that was damaged in the 1908 forest fire.  The route was abandoned in the 1920s.

The Madawaska Flow-Quebec Brook Primitive Area now surrounds it.
